And now for some self gloating

Yesterday www.ouchmytoe.com got listed as Desi Blog of the Day @ Gauravonomics – a blog by, my guess is Gaurav (He tells us that he is sometimes single but doesn’t reveal his name in the ‘About Me’ section).

The complimentary post also mentions the Ouchmytoe Error page.

If you visit the site, please do take a look at the two comments (at the time of writing this post). Quite flattering…and interesting because now I have to find out who is De Bono.

In late February www.theindicast.com in a series called Amuk Amuk (on blogs and bloggers) mentioned www.ouchmytoe.com. In the podcast which can be downloaded from this page, our post on the different types of fathers in law is mentioned.

Rishi Raj, a young lad with a lot of ‘blogging’ enthusiasm has left a comment which made me blush. And want to delete it.

In late March this year, Sudhanshu Raheja compiled the Complete A-list of the Indian Blogosphere, and www.ouchmytoe.com seemed to have crept in unnoticed. While, there is no such thing has a ‘A’ blog because a blog is only as good as its most recent post…one couldn’t but feel happy at being mentioned with the likes of Digital Inspiration, Sepia Mutiny, IPatrix, IndiaUncut, Youth Curry, and the good old friend Kiruba.

Sudhanshu has used Alexa Rankings to come up with the list and www.ouchmytoe.com comes in 74th – not bad for somebody who can’t spell ‘dsylexia’.
