As Pakistan celebrates its 65 years of Independence, Google has been kind enough to be a part of these celebrations with the Doodle for Pakistan on its Independence Day. While it may sound unrelated to most of our readers in every way possible. We would like to wish a very Happy Independence Day to all our countrymen in Pakistan and away from home.

2010 is gone and it has been quite an eventful year for our Blog and myself in particular. Before I go any further I would like to thank all our readers and followers on numerous social networking sites for helping us grow strong year on year. I think if I am to continue writing in this manner it wont really make much sense.
I would like to first admit one thing that Startup Meme has kept its content varying to cater to varying needs of our readers. Many have complained about this variation in content time and again, but I bet those of you who have been with us from Day 1 know that we started with a team of writers initially before there was a split and it all came down to me as being the only writer here. The pressure to keep the pace ticking, technology news coming regularly and as varied as it was in the initial days has made me write on anything I find interesting at a given moment. Of course it is impossible to cover all the news on the Web or making way into my Twitter stream or emails, something I have tried my best to perform at but it adds more pressure.

![image thumb123 Echelon 2010 An Opportunity For You To Be A Part Of Asia’s Leading Web Technology Event [Registrations Open]](http://startupmeme.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/image_thumb123.png "image")
We at Startup Meme love the idea to promote startups, talk about interesting news and more importantly partner with events across the globe. The latter is pretty new and we are just beginning to have events leverage our readership and spread the word out on events that promote Startups in any region. We earlier extended our hand to Echelon in Singapore primarily because it is all about Startups in the Asian region, something we all desperately need to push forward innovation and more importantly the spirit of Entrepreneurship.
We just wanted to head up on the event and make ourselves useful by letting you know what Echelon is all about. Firstly if you are a startup or have a great idea that you think needs to be shared with people who make a difference this is the place for you. While you might have lost the chance to be one of the lucky few startups [around 40] to pitch your idea to the attendees you still have an opportunity to network with key people in the Industry and they number 30 with names like:

Too much of serious talk lets get to something lighter before I wrap up for sleep. I seriously had no idea on Web design back in 1990’s so I have no example to show what my page would have looked like back then. I bet many of you would have no idea either. But just in case if you are in interested to know what your current, ultra modified, SEO friendly and AdSense revenue crunching site was like in the 90’s head over to Geocitiesizer and see for yourself.
Leading by example, following is the screenshot of Startup Meme as it looks now in 2010:

With another daily addition of blast from the past, we go back one year to explore what made news on this date last year. Yahoo, Google, iPhone, Microsoft and Apple dominated tech news on our blog. As always we must have missed out news that was circling the Web and would appreciate if our readers can share the same with us in comments.

Yes, I was very lazy last year and the post frequency was almost next to zero. Chances are pretty high that I missed out the most important news of the day(s) and would appreciate if our readers can help us reflect back on history.
If you covered an interesting story on April 24 and 25 please feel free to share with with a link back to your profile.

This is a new segment we are testing at Startup Meme. The purpose is simply to keep an eye on what was the news that mattered a year back on the particular dates. We will only be posting links to posts along with their headings so that it is easier for our readers to follow whichever news they find interesting.
We would welcome any and all feedback regarding this move and appreciate it if you can take time and share your opinion. Lets revisit history!

We have been running Startup Meme for quite a long time now and as you know we have changed and evolved over time. At present We have decided to ask our readers/followers to let us know what they want in Startup Meme. Or to be more precise what they want excluded?
The idea for doing this is to line up all requests and prioritize whatever feedback is given. Based on that we will make sure to implement your requests. Now as you all know not everything would be done as you request but we will try to keep your opinions as our priority. Why is this important? Well, the major reason is that it is you who make Startup Meme up and it is you that matter to us. We have been keeping your requests that we received via mails and planned to restart covering Startups on a weekly basis [you can read our first Startup in several months here] and will hope fully do it often.
