Exact Purpose of TechMynd
I am not selling anything. I do not intend to give people pirated, cracked software, games, songs or movies. Sometimes users send me some stuff, I post it for them but try to not do anything which may violate any copyright laws. In any case if anybody finds anything illegal here, I will highly encourage and appreciate him to contact me for removal of that material immediately. If you are in a country where piracy laws are clear, I will suggest you to do not download anything other than freeware stuff from TechMynd and inform me about any copyright issue, which you observe here, so that I may fix that issue. I need 24 hours time to act on any request/ notice. I like to share. I come across a lot of online tools and freeware stuff. Purpose of this blog is to recommend its users freeware stuff, online free tools, tips and tricks. I like fun and computer stuff. Purpose of this blog is NOT sharing cracked games, songs, movies or cracked software. Only fun stuff, free tools, freeware useful software for your PC and MAC.
Freeware Softwares at TechMynd from Other Resources! Why?
While its sufficient to link to the original software, but I do it because sometimes target link is changed and your visitors land on wrong pages and they complain that I do not recommend right link. Since its a freeware, its also at author's website, and also available here at TechMynd in some cases, to ensure maximum availability. I also link to author's homepage and also ask his permission if there is a clear way to contact. Through software you can always trace its original homepage as well. I do not upload every software. In case of claim, I remove the source from TechMynd. I am not a software developer so not everything here is my own creation. Copyrights of softwares are always reserved with their respective owners.

paul varesell Says:
Great blog!!! Very informative and insightful. Excellent!!!
Raghu Says:
I enjoyed the articles and decided to subscribe to RSS feed and realized partial feed (bummer) and decided to unsubscribe. I’m sure you could be loosing many readers due to partial feed. What was more surprising was to see you are following Darren, Shoemoney and still not enabled Full feed.
Hiroshi Says:
@Raghu: How can you say that I am following Darren Rowse? Everybody has got his own style. I did not enable full feed because of two reasons.
1. People steal feed and make the content their own.
2. Its good to give a little teaser in the email so that readers can visit the blog to read more. Guess what would happen if I have posted 100 wallpapers and they all go with the full feed into your email resulting your email program to crash or something.
Raghu Says:
@Hiroshi – My thoughts and suggestions
http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/09/25/full-or-partial-feeds-poll-results/
Yup, people steal the contents, which can be done by visiting the site too. Adding RSS footer plugin to insert the copyright will point to your source.
Types of subscribers you plan to attract depends on feeds offering. As I said, bloggers prefer to see Full feed. If your main source of traffic is through Email Subscription, then go with Email Marketing services ( Aweber is the best).
I see that you are using Feedburners Email Subscription. From my experience, you are greatly missing out on the income from not having a Email List through Aweber or other services. One of my blog, I was using Feedburner Email as the main source of addign subscribers. In 1.5 years, I added 1300 total subscribers. After moving to Aweber, I have added 14,000 subscribers in 12 months. This is from a one of my blog that gets half million page views per month.
Amount of money you spend on email services will be compensated very easily. In that way yon can control the email size ( RSS to Email).
Hiroshi Says:
@Raghu: OMG! OMG! Alright, I have turned on full feeds. Thanks for the good piece of advice and valuable information. I appreciate that. Okay I am going for aweber also.
Hiroshi Says:
I am a great admirer of Darren Rowse and Shoemoney that’s a fact though. Well more fan of Darren Rowse. Darren Rowse is such a genuine blogger who has helped and inspired bloggers across the globe. Shoemoney has got style. He is a dude. John Chow is good as well.
Hiroshi Says:
Okay! I love to read Christina Warren (Writer for Mashable) also.

sachin Says:

Hiroshi Says:
@sachin: Why country label? The whole world is my country. Yes Hiroshi is a Japanese name. It has got a history.
My father went to Japan before my birth. He had no son that time. There in the temple he prayed to have a son. Then I was born and the host there in the temple had said that to my father that if you will have a son, name him Hiroshi.
And here I am.
Hiroshi.
