Don’t Let Quirky Profiles Brew At Broowaha

...way accounts to child sexual abuse. I know the readers of this post would be wondering why the heck I keep on using the word ‘her’ to describe this bizarre person. That is because this comment was given by a female with a display name ‘Caio.’ She apparently created a fake profile on Broowaha a day back specifically to comment on my post. So the next thing I did was to check her profile to see if she was a new member on the site, or if she had written any article, or if she had shared something about herself. Guess what, there was nothing of that sort in her profile. This further... (more)

Why I joined BrooWaha

...I still get nauseous everytime I push the publish button. A funny thing started to happen, instead of throwing up, I began to realize that there were incredibly talented writers, with amazing tales to tell.

So as I sit with the magic of words flowing through me. The reason I joined BrooWaha was for this vast arena of symphonies, ideas, life stories, fashion, International concerns... everything I wanted was on Broo. I found that like most instuments we pick up, we need to practice our craft. Practice, practice to perfection sometimes to fail and then to do it all over ... (more)

Featured Broowaha Author -february '09

...Broadway play in a downtown loft, on a Friday night, and watch young performers passionately hone their craft, inspiration is everywhere, that's the main reason why almost everyone living in this incredible city, is from someplace else, and there aren't many cities that can claim that. Your Broowaha picture, is there a story behind it? What are you doing/reading? That's an insightful question, and no one has ever asked me about that before, and there is indeed a history to that photo. Some of your readers may or may not know that I'm a published author and that photo was taken at my first ... (more)

Broowaha Connections. In The Flesh

One of the best things about Broowaha—aside from it giving you more hits than your blog—is that it’s got enough clout to get you on Google.  And make it to the top of a somewhat common search, and interesting things can happen.  My last article, The Unspoken Rules Of Group Conversation: Learn Them Or Bore, was a fun example.While checking hits on the article, I noticed it’d been linked (my favorite Broo feature).  The link turned out to be from a NYC Craigslist post. Wha?  The post turned out to be from ‘The Brooklyn Conversational Soiree’, a group trying to organize in-person group conversations... (more)

Welcome To The New BrooWaha

When I wrote the first line of code of BrooWaha about 3 years ago, I never expected this project to become what it is today. As a graduate student at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, I was merely looking for a side project to apply what I had learned in school for the past 6 years and design my first website from scratch.

About a year after the launch, it became evident that the project had become more than a nerd's toy and needed more attention than I could give it in order to grow. David Cohn joined me in the adventure at this time and brought with him his experience in journalism and new... (more)

Interview With David Cohn, BrooWaha's New Chief-Editor,

... undergrad at UC Berkeley. After living in SF for a bit and working at Wired magazine, I moved to New York to continue perusing journalism and to work towards my masters degree at Columbia's J-school. And now I'm back in the bay area. I'm lucky in that I've found a way to work on projects, like Broowaha, that I love. I try to be as much of an open book as possible on my blog. How did you hear about BrooWaha?I first heard about Broowaha while working at NewAssignment.Net, a project to spur innovation in journalism - particularly through citizen journalism. I have been following all the major... (more)
