How to Trash Test your Business Card?

I am sure the title above made you curious-right? Well, I was definitely intrigued by it first because the title was well conceived and secondly, I really wanted to know whether my business card would pass the trash test. 


The source article below the title above should be read by business card printers as well as every one of us who use to get our business card printed. How many times the business card given to us were simply thrown into waste basket after just a cursory glance?

There are several reasons why business cards fail the trash test:
1.    Irrelevant information to us
2.    Poor quality card
3.    Ugly color combination
4.    Too much of information

    Before you print out your business card next time, please remember these points.  

    I like this business card.

The loading time of Google plus.

Posting your blog updates in your Google plus is proving to be a time consuming task-don't you think so? The page loading time is long when compared to Facebook.

There are certain areas Google should improve; they are more concentrating on modifying their indexing algorithms than getting real feedback about their own products and improving upon them.

For example, the quality of the content in Google groups was top class years before. Now, anyone would notice a big drop in the content quality leading to poor participation by us.

Google ads is another concern. I notice irrelevant ads on my blogs making me wonder whether they contextual anymore!

I like everything about Facebook, It is easy to manipulate, loads fast and attracts good number of viewers to your updates.

Aswin Vs Swann.

Any ardent cricket lover who have watched so many spinners from different teams of the world would sat why Aswin is not able to take more wickets. He is a fighter and he works hard but not that is not obviously sufficient.

Aswin is tall and so are most of the English batsmen who have great reach. Look at how Peterson and Alister Cook stretched themselves to block the ball bowled by Ashwin comfortably.

Aswin's length should be in such way that even tall Peterson should be afraid to go neither forward or backward. That is what is called a teasing length. Occasionally Ashwin bowls at such length but the next ball is bowled at a different spot thus not making use of the earlier spot that beat the batsman.

Swann bowled intelligently. I am sure he did his home work properly. He is good. 

If you have watched the Pakistani bowlers Hazan Raza and Abdul Hafeez bowl, you would have noticed how consistently they bowl at a particular length that ties batsmen stubornly making them to commit mistake out of frustration.

I am a big fan of Ashwin. I wish he scales new heights.
