Boy at a Startup

Unlike last time, there weren’t many submissions. But the quality of the shots were better. But this time the entries were a little awkward. Very few people followed the rules. Some forgot to tweet their entries, some didn’t comment, some didn’t say (or didn’t give a compelling reason) why would they want to be on Dribbble. And most of the [...]

To get drafted just write a comment saying why do you deserve to be on Dribbble mentioning your twitter username, follow me on twitter (@arunpattnaik), send me (via twitter) ONLY ONE link to your (best/most impressive) work & then tweet the following to your followers. The more people retweet you, the higher are the chances for you getting drafted.

Finally! I’m happy to announce the winner of the Dribbble invitation. The competition was tough and finding the perfect candidate was difficult. There were dozens of beautiful submissions and I had to take suggestions from a couple of other Dribbble users to zero down on the winner. And if you still missed the banner above, the winner is Zhanna Schonfeld [...]

Yeehaw! Now that the Google+ invites fever of over, here is something every designers would love. I have an invite for Dribbble up for grabs. If you don’t know yet, it is show and tell for creatives. Designers, developers, and other creatives share shots—small screenshots of the designs and applications they are working on. In other words, Dribbble is the [...]

A few weeks earlier, I read a blog post on TechCrunch and that worried me. What’s worse was the comments & discussions that followed. The employers (mostly the fresh breed of “entrepreneurs” & “CEOs” next door) were going HURRAH defending the article while the employees (coders, designers & all sorts of non-entrepreneurs) were getting pissed off. The community was suddenly [...]

What a crazy week! Dozens of real life lessons, hundreds of interesting people, tens of hours of video footage, hundreds of photos, crazy last-minute surprizes and a couple of silly mistakes – this is a glimpse of what happened at Triggr last week. I could almost write a book on the whole experience, but this is going to be a [...]

We had an amazing start! Last week was nothing less than a roller-coaster. Dozens of phone calls, countless tweets & hundreds of email messages. The entire Triggr crew was in chaos. This being our first event, we were hoping about 50 attendees would show up and we were prepared for that. But when we saw the number of attendees rising [...]

Getting a place for your app in a dock is like having your website bookmarked, even better. An average person uses less than 10 apps regularly, let it be on a mobile phone or a computer. Today while ticking the ‘keep in dock’ option, I suddenly remembered the day I installed it for the first time. When I first heard [...]

For me, this began with the TEDx conference in Delhi in 2010. Back then, I used to work at SlideShare. That was the first paid event I had attended. I was pretty excited about the whole thing, especially the fact that Rabbi Shergill would be giving a talk. And then I was disappointed. I had a lot of expectations from [...]

My brother got married last week. This was the first time I was part of a marriage from start to finish, although not technically, since one or the other rituals keep going on for about a month after an Indian (Hindu) marriage, i was part of almost every major event that happened. I’m not a big fan of family gatherings [...]
