i got listed on aboutUs.org
I was just roaming around on the net and was going through Genex Blog and stumbled upon the story on AboutUs.org, which happen to have an office in Lahore. AboutUs.org is a sort of wikipedia, but instead of wiki about dead people i mean historic stuff and encyclopedia it a wiki on people, business & web according to them
AboutUs is a wiki whose goal is to create a free and valuable Internet resource containing information both about websites and other community created topics. The site was pre-populated with information about many different websites and thousands of updates are now being made by people each day.
So to test the site i entered my name and search, when result came i was bit shocked as some one had been kind enough to add all my information there, even my picture ! My website was already listed with all its details. Its a good feeling to see that happen and gives a feeling as if you were some kind of a famous Designer on whom people would write about any how apart from that day dreaming part it is a bit scary as well in terms of Privacy, as what all we publish on our web properties gets reproduced some other place without our knowledge.

Hi Zeeshan,
I actually came to find out about your website from Aboutus website. I liked your design skills and happen to read your blog, which I appreciate. I don’t think there is any harm in publishing your information, such as picture and emails on web (in a secured way). I think we should be open minded and look at the positive aspects of what aboutus is offering to webmasters, and web surfers. Keep up the god work!
Well i totally support the effort by AboutUs team and appreciate they added me in, and its good to see such gr8 products being operated from Lahore too. Though i am quite open minded on the privacy issue but still i wonder on it sometimes.
Anyhow Thanks for reading & visiting my site and of course i am keeping any eye on your blog too. Keep up the good work, Thanks again
Actually you don’t have to be special to get included with aboutus.org. Any site can get listed with aboutus.org. All you have to do visit aboutus.org and if your site is not listed, use find their option, they will create a page for you instantly….this is actually cool.
Anyway…I like the design of your site. Good work.
