Inov8 dispels rumors about workforce, operations

And secondly… it doesn’t matter if you’re raising any questions because fortunately I dont answer to you.

Cheers

Inov8 dispels rumors about workforce, operations

Or its just that I havent really been looking after this site for the past 6 months or so – there are other editors too but you have to remember this gnw has always been a complete community-run initiative… there’s no central authority and fulltime people looking after it.

Thanks

Myoffstreet.com - a goto destination for business listings

Mahmood – does this author bio help with your concern?

Myoffstreet.com - a goto destination for business listings

Hey Mahmood – I can understand that it *could* lose credibility…. but sometimes writers just prefer to stay anonymous for other reasons.

You’d have to trust me to make sure that the story isnt biased and that the writer doesnt have any vested interests there.

Trust Green & White, eh?

Is PTCL Broadband testing some sort of edge-level caching system? If it is, its failing...

Hmm OpenDNS also has the same issue – but Sanix’s suggestion works. Thanks!

Did Wateen buy bloggers' email / blog addresses to spam them? The privacy debate should include this

Tech Lahore started a “swine list” on his blog but it hasnt been updated in a long time.

Is Creativity really Dying in Pakistan? Really?

Adnan,

Awesome awesome comment and great points – looking to hear more from you on other things.

Web Funters : See the innovation as an opportunity - Not a threat!

UJMi – Ali has a right to like the company and do a positive review doesnt he?

Although – I dont understand the title though… “See innovation as an opportunity, not a threat”.

I dont know who looks at it as a threat

Digg This Plz

Lol finalllly someone steps up and says it – currently I’m just unfollowing or blocking or creating a gmail filter for anyone who’s sending me digg requests.

Way to go blogger meetups…. YAY for creating more noise in the world.

My2By2 - Pakistan's facebook-based e-rally for peace

Danny, actually its to show that bigotry like that doesn’t affect us – I hope you were able to vent properly and its out of your system now

Liveblogging the Usability event from NUST

Obaid – like what? From our side probably not but there’s other people thinking of events here and there… not sure which of them will be arranged

Heman, this is not a public website – its hosted on our servers. Please get the facts straight on site priviledge.

Most of the people who do consider that they own a piece of gnw usually also email me with their suggestions politely…

Bottom line is to try and be civil, not antagonistic.

Thanks,

HeMan -

1- Yes you did use an offensive word

2- Freedom of Expression doesnt apply. You come to our site, which means you’re a guest in our house if you will. There are ettiquetes to follow.

3- You’re right that since this is our house the ability to comment is a priviledge we’re giving and we have the right to set rules about the place. IF this was a fully-open area then freedom of expression would apply completely.

4- You’re welcome to your opinion but dont expect me to do anything about it if you’re going to be rude expecting the world to fall at your feet…. fortunately I have the right to how I react to your opinion as well.

Inov8 dispels rumors about workforce, operations

Hi ABC – we need to remain civil here so I had to moderate your comment slightly… no need to bring in the family or point to specific people. I think the general management or shareholders all can be notified or communicated to equally.

The times, they are achanging

Punslinger – do you see this trend changing with recent socioeconopolitical events?

Super Technologies' birthday wish to their boss...

Farzal, bad day or do you really hate your boss? :p

A quick look of startup product videos

Farzal – their website iscrybe.com lists all that coverage.

Fahd – thanks for the clarification.

Are blogs just an excuse to be raw and opinionated? [The CIO debate continues]

@reallyvirtual… lol you sound like you’re trembling while giving that disclaimer. “And they call me the monster?!”

@Adnan… yes thats the funny thing about mainstream media here. I dont see it happening anywhere else in the world but a ‘blog’ in mainstream media in pk is just something where the rules dont apply.

Hi Asim… I’m looking into it – there’s inevitably going to be some period of adjustment with the high level of standards of the community.

But do let me know if you dont see if improving over time – osama@greenwhite.org

Now talk live with other people reading GnW at the same time

Seriously folks, cheer up… if we work together, we may have some semblence of making it as a society. Otherwise why not just drop down to cannibalism and be done with it

Its ok for someone to not know the full picture when they’re commenting. Lets learn from each other huh

Now talk live with other people reading GnW at the same time

Why so much hatred towards each other…. cant we seriously be mature enough to make a point without calling the other person an idiot?
