Simple Thoughts: 10, 000 comments later… some thoughts

Simple Thoughts has 2,460 posts and 10,012 comments as of writing this post, an average of over 4 comments per post. Simple Thoughts was never intended to be a commercial venture like TechCrunch or Mashable, for instance. While we use advertising at present to defray the costs associated with this blog, it still remains a non-commercial venture. Until about a month back, Simple Thoughts was a one-man-show, that man being me. Maintaining a blog over the years is hard work, often unappreciated. However it is your comments and words of appreciation that keeps me going.

Today we have over one million unique visitors per month and we are rapidly increasing.

Pen and share ideas and solutions…

Simple Thoughts was created to pen and share new things as I learned them or sometimes to re-hash things that I can soon fade from my memory; in short my personal memory bank. It just happened that many others faced the same problmes too and found my solutions useful.

What kind of name is - Simple Thoughts?

At some point I considered changing the name to something more catchy. My readers vehemently protested and so the name remained - Simple Thoughts. The goal is provide simple solutions for complex problems, problems I have faced and solved, so you don’t have to.

BTW: If you search in Google for Simple Thoughts, this blog comes up first, even ahead of simplethoughts.net, a site with my name in their domain name. blog.taragana.com doesn’t have simple thoughts mentioned anywhere in their domain name, nor is it embedded anywhere in the url. However I am not sure it does me any good. Who searches for technology by typing Simple Thoughts in google? But then a name is a name, Google be dammed.

Future Plans

Simple Thoughts is on a journey of its own. We are actively hiring more techies to contribute to the blog everyday. Our modest aim is to be the source for Java, PHP and web technologies for technologists, software architects and programmers. As before you will get tons of original articles, deep insights, code examples, product reviews and more.

You too can contribute to Simple Thoughts in many ways, write article for Simple Thoughts and more. Let’s help each other to move forward. The future of Simple Thoughts depends on you, make it count.
