DISQUS

I wouldn't even consider myself to be nano-famous. And it is quite obvious that our audience is a very tiny niche (Muslims), it has occurred to me that the IslamCrunch brand has been getting recognition. At conventions, people come up to me and say: "Aren't you the IslamCrunch dude?" Strangers ask me of the status of IslamCrunch and we get linked to on various websites.

This can easily lead to arrogance. In Islamic belief, this was the downfall of Satan: his arrogance; and he was cast out of Heaven, forever cursed.

Our scholars teach us that we are here to serve the Creator as well as humanity. So I completely agree that building relationships based on trust and serviceability is of utmost importance.

Without sounding too cliche, building bridges is what we need. Recently, an Internet Economist, Cameron Peron, who is living in Israel wrote an analysis of IslamCrunch. This is a real-life example of microfame expanding it's circle of influence. An Analysis of IslamCrunch by Cameron Peron.

Hmm... another idea launched before I could release it. Well, glad this is now available.

Just added this article to SocialBrowse. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Oops

I would add* to point #1 - absence of strong family ties (this pertains to my blood family, my Muslim family is 1.5 billion and growing!).

Wa'alaykumsalam Imam Suhaib,

Points 1 & 3 are reflections of my conversion.

I would to point #1 - absence of strong family ties (this pertains to my blood family, my Muslim family is 1.5 billion and growing!).

Another point is realizing that some Muslims are not very good spokespeople, role models, voices for a new Muslim to look up to.

Other than that... "Islam is easy...it's the Muslims who make it difficult" - Imam Zaid Shakir.

Thanks for sharing. We also reported this new feature early morning yesterday too! We should have linked to each other! *Subscribed*

Shouldn't your title read: I Heart Movies: Organize and Share your Movies

Instead of the current: I Heart Moves:.. ?

Erik, I am an early GrandCentral user (since their pre-Google beta days). I really love the service. The coolest feature: you can listen to the caller as they are leaving a voice message. If you feel you want to jump in and talk you can do so. Or just hang up or allow them to finish leaving the message.

Another handy feature: the system will ask the caller to recite his/her name. So when you pick up the call, you will hear "You have a call from John Malone". You can take the call if you recognize the name or just hang up. Telemarketers usually don't leave a name so you will hear "You have a call from ____________" Click. Or you might hear white noise from the background sounds. Click.

I highly recommend it. There are other great features like digital voice messages.

As Salamu 'alaykum Abang,

Apa khabar? Thank you for sharing this timely information. I hope all is well with you and your wonderful family.

Thanks for sharing this. I immediately made my way to my Feedburner account and went PRO. These free options are good integrity points for the Big G. Their Analytics (the application formerly known as Urchin) is awesome. This Feedburner PRO availability is definitely a blessing.

Sid, forgive me for the cool factor competition, but I think even cooler than that is an activated iPhone won from Rev2. Bam! Should I email you my shipping address? ;)

This is awesome. Your generosity will give you guys a cool factor of 11 on a scale between 1 and 10. Cooler than the iPhone? Oh yeah.
