It is never late to share what’s good

On August 9, Seshu Karthick, a MS from University of Texas at Dallas, sent me a mail which unfortunately landed in my SPAM folder. Today while cleaning up the folder I found his mail.

Seshu says that Ouchmytoe.com’s articles inspired him to build a web application which would cater to people’s creative needs (or bring out the creativity in them).

I can’t re-produce his mail ‘as is’ because I haven’t sought his go-ahead yet…but I can’t help displaying (most will call it ‘show off’) one paragraph of the mail, where he says Ouchmytoe articles were his inspiration.

One fine day while reading your blog posts, I started to think… How about a web-app for encouraging people to write wit-filled creative articles (similar to the posts at Ouch-My-toe). They are sure refreshing, and bring out our creative abilities to think. Several of your blog posts were key to forming of the base idea for my web2.0 application. I wanted to thank you for all that…

Seshu…my apologies for responding so late. Also, I went thro’ www.SayWit.com and I have to tell you that I was impressed. Ouchmytoe wishes its blood relation the very best!

On August 10, S4n705h (don’t look at me like that …I didn’t make that up) and Chriz tagged me. Was really tied up and couldn’t continue the tag. My apologies. But if anybody wants to fake me – like they did for Steve Jobs – go ahead and continue the tag. I wouldn’t mind.

S4n705h & Chriz: Thanks guys!

On August 13, this site introduced the Ouchmytoe widget for your blog/website. According to latest analytics being given by Musestorm.com, 126 blogs are carrying the widget…but I think the data is wrong. Ouchmytoe isn’t that big a blog yet. I would be surprised if five blogs are carrying the widget.

The three blogs on which I spotted the widget (via Musestorm, of course) are:
