I never meant to compete with someone who inspired me to take up blogging. Never!
QOT Rocks!
Thanks for participating Thilak. The voting session is just for the fun, it is not really a competition :).
Nice “battle”. It’s a great way of getting in the essence.
My vote’s on Thilak:D
Nice comparison!
and two of my favorite bloggers!
Thanks for the nice words. Actually I think I could have asked how much they are earning, both of them make some serious money from their blogs.
Hey Daniel,
Great mash-up, both excellent sites that we follow regularly.
Yeah, I was looking for those hard and fast earnings numbers from both these successful bloggers!
@ Thilak - it’s all just in good fun my friend.
Congratulations to both.
Have an awesome day!
Dan
I think their answers were very similar which is interesting in itself! In the end, I voted for Thilak.
Both of them are my inspirations in blogging. Don’t know for whom I should cast my vote.
Hey Daniel,
This is bad, you confused me :confused: . I love QOT and TechBuzz both, I never miss read both blog. But still, I’ll vote for QOT, sorry Thilak
.
QOT rocks because of its usability and rocking articles. Even John CHow love QOT
!
And so Daniel, when is Amit Agarwal from labnol.blogspot.com coming in here at face-off?
I remember once Thilak send a message to me when my comments where not working. Not many takes the time for such!
^^
That’s why he said relationship matters
My vote goes to Thilak
Thanks for voting everyone. Maybe, I should step up the posting frequency to please Rishi
My personal vote goes to PChere!!
Ironic!
Rishi: In my opinion: PChere should have been pitched against Amit Agarwal. Now that he is pitched against me, I can’t see anybody who can been pitched against Amit (ji)
Thilak, there is JohnTP also!
i always love young achievers and so take my vote for you.. Thilak. Congratulations….
