Go, the inflight magazine of AirTran Airways carries an introductory article on Mobile Web. The author Lee Gimpel contacted me for inputs a while ago and I was glad to help. Clearly, mobile web is huge, and there is good amount of buzz around it these days. But like Amy Mischler of dotMobi said, it’s important to set your expectations and realize that you’re at the beginning of something that can really differentiate yourself.
Have you tried something on the mobile web yet? Did you read my book on it?

A while ago, I got an email from Sean, about a journal he has started about search engine marketing. I checked out what it was about and learned this:
SEMJ.org is the first printed journal dedicated to the advancement of search marketing through peer reviewed articles. The goal of the journal is to help professionals in the industry share and demonstrate their expertise. We are different than a magazine in that we encourage the submission of articles and research papers by experts in the industry. Similar to a scientific journal, we review articles submitted by industry professionals and our editors decide if the article will be published in our journal.
That’s a very good concept. The search engine / online marketing industry is booming and it needs validated information and learning tools.
And I accepted Sean’s invitation to become a senior editor!
The first print edition is going to have a lot of interesting papers.
If you are in online marketing or SEM, check out the journal. You can also share your knowledge by becoming an author.

We were thinking about a vacation for time. There were two options - a naturopathy retreat or an adventure trip! The nature’s call won this time and we will be going to Nisargopachar Ashram in Uruli Kanchan (near Pune, Maharashtra, sometimes referred to as urlikanchan) tomorrow morning.
My sister returned from a week’s stay yesterday. Dad is still there, and I and Nikita will join tomorrow. Neha just loved the fresh air, the massages and the peace of the place. Hearing her experience, I think it’s going to be a good break for me too! Hopefully I won’t work too much there!
The place is unique. Famous for its mud baths, strict diets, cleanliness and the heritage of Mahatma Gandhi. Here are some more descriptions and experiences found around the web.
The Nisargopachar ashram is just one of the many indigenous health centers that dot the countryside. A late-century term for it would be ‘health farm’, but unlike its newer cousins, it remains a vestige of a more spartan life with its bare walls, crude flooring and minimal furniture. Founded in 1946 by Mahatma Gandhi-himself a fanatic believer in naturopathy-the Nisargopachar Ashram has kept alive the tradition of simple living and high thinking for more than five decades. More recently, it has given succor to stressed-out urbanites with problems ranging from obesity, arthritis and asthma, to heart diseases and diabetes.

Naturopathy believes not only in irradiating the symptoms and treating them but to kill diseases from its roots. For this purpose diet, patience and exercise also is important. The ashram in designed taken into consideration all these factors.
