What an interesting week! We announced our decision to open up, invited authors to share their insights and so far, the response has been quite amazing (more than that, I must say)!.
We also announced two freebie contests (Free Headstart tickets, Free book and a pluGGd.in t-shirt) – as well as our first sponsor (we are closing on few more, early birds get some discount).
This week also brought in a concept of weekly theme – i.e. pick up a certain topic and discuss that in detail during the week. Our first topic was ‘understanding user needs’ and we will soon announce the topic for this week.
