Online profile:
I’m not just outsourcing parts of my life - I’m outsourcing a lot of data, knowledge, information, bits and bytes. I once had an idea managing my digital life on my own site, but that wasn’t so practical. As with offline, online crashes do happen - but those are in the business of providing a service of being online have the responsibility of keeping backups.

Today, I even pay for some services besides my domain - Webhosting, Flickr, YahooMail Plus, Amazon S3. However, somethings are still free and great - Google (Search, Gmail, Calender, Reader, Docs), Del.icio.us, Firefox (all add on/extension providers) and of course WordPress.

• LinkedIn - expand your network
• Del.icio.us - social bookmarking
• Flickr - social photography
• Squidoo - your lens to the future
• Orkut - friends, family and foe

Sites managed:

• AVCION - a so called holding company for my ventures
• Christica - a Christian Blog with parables and reflections
• MariasMenu - a site which I cannot ignore (my wife’s!)
• Dr Paulose - a world class ENT Surgeon (my dad!)
