CueBlocks and I
Aastha joined us as a copywriter and became an important member of the content strategy division. She has proved to be an asset for the company not only because of her skills but also because of her personality and value-system.
However, her association with us ends here as she moves on. Here's what she has to say about her stay at CueBlocks.
'We both are learning from each other everyday' was my reply when someone recently asked me about my relationship with CueBlocks.
I joined CueBlocks in the summer of 2010 as a copywriter. It was my first ever job and I was selected via a college placement procedure. Yes, I was scared, nervous but ecstatic to work with a team that was truly inspiring. I had read a lot about CueBlocks and the Directors – Avneet, Sarthak and Pancham online, before the interview. After meeting the team, I was mesmerized my their humility and work environment, and was just praying to get an opportunity to be a part of this team, which thankfully happened.
My journey with CueBlocks has been amazing to the core. I have learned, experienced, grown, fallen, risen up again and loved every bit of it. The amount of learning

The More Powerful – New Magento Enterprise Editio...
At the Magento Imagine eCommerce 2013 conference, Magento, one of the leading eCommerce platforms, released the newest edition of Magento Enterprise- 1.13. The focus of this release has been on performance and scalability. With merchants growing their businesses and other increasingly larger enterprises preferring Magento, the Magento Enterprise Edition needed to scale up to handle increased traffic volume and larger catalogs. This has now been achieved with the new Magento Enterprise edition EE 1.13. Know more at: http://www.magentocommerce.com/blog/comments/magento-enterprise-edition-113/
Until now, retailers had to completely re-index their Magento sites when adding products or changing prices, images or production descriptions. In the new version, they can partially re-index the site in seconds.
For example, if a retailer needs to reorganize the product catalog with a full indexing, that will now take under one hour for a site that sells 1 million products, which took nearly six hours in the older version, this comes out to be an 83% reduction which is a massive improvement in terms of performance.
An Australian retailer shared their experience of testing the new Magento EE 1.13 and fHow Businesses can take advantage of the new Facebook C...
Facebook recently rolled out a new change for business pages. The ability to reply to a comment directly on Facebook. This can be justified as an effort on Facebook's part to make the relationship between merchants and buyers on the social network easier and more convenient.
Currently in testing phase, this new system enables page owners to directly reply to a commenter on their Facebook page or a status, instead of trying to tag the person in a reply on the status. With this, it increases direct engagement of a brand with the user.
This option is currently available for only business pages with over 10,000 likes.
Apart from this feature, Facebook also added that the most relevant comments, with the most engagement will be pushed to the top of a post. This means that conversations on a post won't remain in the chronological order as before, but based on the following factors:
- Positive Feedback: The amount of positive feedback based on the total number of Likes and Replies in a conversation thread, which includes Likes or Replies by the Page owner.
- Connections: Connections to participants in a thread may move the conversation higher. For example, conversations with Comments left by friends may appear at the top.
- Negative Fee

Memize! – new iPhone App by CueBlocks
The art and method of memorizing stuff just got easier with CueBlocks' latest iPhone App – Memize!
Just swipe and tap to start memorizing in a fun way!
This new and simple-to-use application brings the old school yet sure-shot way of memorizing information on your iPhone! Create flash cards to memorize paired information that can be put on the front and back of each card. From language translations (e.g. English – Spanish), geographical facts (e.g. countries, capitals, currencies) to historical events with dates and beyond – you can use flash cards to remember it all!
