Blog Writing an Alternate Voice of Pakistan

October 30th, 2010 | Add a Comment

The blogging culture in Pakistan has come a long way. Beginning with less than a dozen blogs with very limited audience and influence, it has effectively exploded in the past two years, when people began to learn how to maintain blogs run them, and how to generate revenues out of them. Since then, things have picked up pace quite rapidly and credit for this goes to multinational companies who grasped the potential in blogging. Thus, we began to hear of terms like bloggers’ meetups, seminars, workshops and competitions on blogging.

October 12th, 2010 | Add a Comment

I think that Telenor has decided to pull back its recent most TV commercial of telenor GPRS.More, which came under fire from masses due to its over-expressive nature. I don’t know any official words on this yet; however, Telenor’s official YouTube page has deleted the ad that showed a guy hunting for a girl on Facebook using Telenor’s GPRS. Telenor is airing a backup TVC on TV channels, which shots a better use of Telenor’s GPRS. As we said, we don’t have official words on this matter yet; still, pulling the plug of TVC in question is being termed as positive and sensible response from Telenor’s end. At the same time, now it is evident that said TVC had thematic problems in it. Below is new TVC of Intenret.More … Read entire article »

Growing internet users in Pakistan, emergence and then dominance of social networks in our daily life coupled with development of local content has unleashed the opportunity for businesses to market their products over cyberspace. However, it is largely felt that the essence of Digital Media is still unknown to many, particularly at grass root level. We have seen over the time that conventional wisdom of old media was unable to cater the techniques and approaches of new media. For the purpose, Symmetry – a digital media firm from Karachi, has taken this initiative to spread digital media awareness at university level through a competition called “Digital Minds”. Symmetry says that this competition will not only help develop a digital mindset but will also provide the youth with a firsthand experience of the dynamic … Read entire article »
