At the outset we wish all our readers from India, a very happy Lohri, Pongal, and Makara Sankaranti! May the festival bring with it joy and prosperity!

It has been quite an interesting week. Google went on to merge its social network platform Google+, with mainstream search: Brilliant!

Let us know on our Facebook Page, on Twitter, or mail us at admin@marketingfaq.net. Oh!
