For a while I thought he was just talking about JohnChow only ;) Well, as he says that’s the growth cycle of any blog. I hope that won’t be the case for me.

Web2Bookmarks.com is a project of mine dedicated to handpick the coolest Web2.0 sites on the net.

Every since I signup for DailyWritingTips‘ email subscription, I have been getting invaluable tips. It’s a site that every blogger should read.

One of the things that all bloggers should avoid is, the grammatical errors on the blog (including misused words, word that mean something else). Typos are understandable, but grammatical errors make your blog look unprofessional. Sometimes, I do see some mistakes in well known blogs. Not that it never happens here, I am sure I do make mistakes too. However, it’s the one thing that we all should avoid. And DailyWritingTips will help you, to do just that!

This looks like a paid review post, isn’t it? But it’s not. If you have a nice website, that is useful to everybody. I am more than happy to review it for free. And this again, tells us that, the quality of the content is what matters most. Content is King, but better content is more than that! (maybe Queen? ;) www.dailywritingtips.com

Have you heard about microlending or microcredit? Microcredit is the extension of small loans to entrepreneurs too poor to qualify for traditional bank loans. In developing countries especially, microcredit enables very poor people to engage in self-employment projects that generate income.

So basically it’s lending as low as $100 or $50 to the poor for opening a business to support their livelihood. Please note that it’s not a donation, you will get your money back, it’s a loan. So why not help someone, lending as small as $50 from your PayPal funds? Rather than your PayPal fund lying in your account for 30 days or more, within this time you could actually help some family in Uganda to start a business.

How to help
Kiva.org is the answer. Kiva allows you to search the database of poor entrepreneurs who are looking for small loans to start their business. You can search the database by region, business field, gender, and status of the project. And because of this, almost all (close to 100%) people who borrow the money actually pay back.

Kiva partners with existing microfinance institutions in different countries. These partners choose the entrepreneurs and posts their profile on Kiva. So the people on Kiva, are hardworking people who are handpicked by their local agencies.
