A Practical interpretation 

I think the first point of difference would be the fact that we would not exactly count as a news source at least for those who already follow the likes of Techcrunch, Mashable, Wired, Engadget etc. The reason for that is quite obvious - We are not that big yet! 

As the articles here would be written by students, what you would get to read is a more practical and a relate-able take on a recent technology news story from your peer's perspective. This is important as we focus on not just keeping students informed but also on how students can actually benefit from being informed. This is something I really hope this blog would achieve.

A good example of what I am trying to convey here would be this article on Five facts about Social Apps. While the idea is to talk about the privacy backlash that Facebook faced recently, the article also sheds some insight on how social applications work.

Developers v Non Developers

So there are two different target audiences that we hope to cater to - Developers and non-developers. We will try to make this divide as visible as we possibly can so that readers can easily choose what they want to read and skip the rest. For developers, the articles will also contain snippets of code, useful trips, tricks, tutorials and other resources.

Easy to contribute and join the party

Through a seem-less contribution process, we hope the domain of the articles on the blog expands quickly ie If you sick and tired of reading about web apps on the blog and want to share your insight on the latest iPhone - write, register, upload and Snap! You are a contributor now. Be the change that you want to see!

No annoying ads

This might be a minor but counts, still. Yes, we are ad-free. You will not find any annoying flash banners around here. Ever.
