Being always keen in the computers and technology I frequently used Google to sort queries and find things, while in the quest I landed Digit forum where I met Vishal Gupta (AskVG.com). He introduced me to Microsoft Indian Community for Windows – MeraWindows. There I met a lot of cool folks like Ramesh Kumar and other MVPs who have always been there contributing to the community for people to learn & grow. After a few time at this wonderful community and forum I too started regular contributions to Tech forums and started my own blog WidnowsVJ.com. Considering my contributions to community in the past few years Microsoft decided to award me with Most Valuable Professional award in January 2010.
12. What do you think about MyWindowsClub.com and the features? Is there any feature or option in MWC specifically attractive / interesting to you? If you become a decision maker in MWC, what changes you would like to introduce?
It's good to see that in the time where a plethora of communities are emerging, such a strong community focused on Learn & Earn motto is present. Within a few weeks of its presence over web MyWindowsClub has made significant progress as a community.
A lot of valuable resources like Certification Exam preparation guides are the uniqueness of this community. One of the most attractive things is incentives in remarkable ways like Gifts, Rankings, Adsense Share etc for each and every thing for a user at MyWindowsClub that motivates the budding users of the community.
