Few words from my friends:
Jalal HB, Islamabad
My friend S A J Shirazi introduced me to the world of blogging and then to Mr Yaqoob one day. As I toured through his blog, his wisdom on issues started to unfold and made me often read his view point. In these days when many bloggers are just making their blogs swell with information gathered from others’ posts, here is someone who has originality and control over his thoughts and his writings. I haven’t met him in person, but one can make out the personality from the way one thinks and puts one’s thoughts to writing. For bloggers in Pakistan, specially the beginners, Mr Yaqoob should be one of the role models to follow.
Norman Flecha (CEO, StraigthTalk - Florida)
Although I personally don’t know Mr. Yaqoob, And since I reside In USA (Florida) All I could most POSITIVELY say; that I have been in touch with Him since like 2007 and have done few projects online with him..
One in particular was fixing his blogspot. Back in 2008 I have kinda laid back with our online friendship but would love to jump back aboard.
Zoia Tariq [Editor-in-Chief/ZEST, Lahore]
Though i have known Yaqoob for quite sometime,but met him only recently. Meeting Yaqoob was a pleasant surprise,as he comes across a decent,intelligent and practical man,unlike most people i meet in my line of work. He is full of creative and amazing ideas, hence the meeting was a continuous brainstorming session,which kept me intrigued. The best thing about him is that he is optimistic about what can be done to make things better,instead of focusing on what has gone bad. With a mind full of possiblities and a heart brimming with hope, Yaqoob is a motivating and energetic soul, who will stack your world with zest and dreams.
Yasser Ali [Lahoe, Pakistan]
Yass Ali: Yaqoob shares not only his knowledge in inspiring others but also is sensitive towards reaching above and beyond of his expectations of himself and others. His commitment to help awaken the young generation is amazing. Very innovative and bears the ability to see out of the box. He is bold, daring, and interestingly comfortable with himself. I am proud to be connected with him.
Tayyiba Iram [Manager HR, SYED Engineers, Gujranwala]
Tayyiba Iram: I have been in touch with Muhammad Yaqoob for about two years.I have found him very cooperative, humble, down to earth and cooperative person. He is always willing to help who is really in need of an opportunity and wants to work with passion.
When comes to blogging He is just excellent. I wish him tremendous success and well being in his future endeavours.
Irfan Elahi [Senior Project Manager 'SIEMENS' Canada]
Irfan Elahi: I Really appreciate all your efforts for this blog. We worked together in a same organization and I find him a wonderful team player. I wish him all the best for all his future endeavors.
Major (r) Raja G. Mujtab [Editor-in-Chief, Opinion Maker]
Raja Mujtaba: I been planing to pay a visit to Mr Yaqoob since long but my commitments have not permitted me to do so as yet. Within a few days, I shall make it a point to visit him at Gujrat and then be in a better position to say much more about him but for now I can only say he is a man of future.
(R) Fahad Fazal Elahi Ghuraya [Sweeden]
Fahad Fazal Elahi Gurraya: I knew Yaqoob back from 2004 when we were associated to the same organization in Islamabad. He is a guy with a smile on his face. He had helped me a lot in various issues in the beginning and afterwords he helped me in establishing and running my Blog in a proper way. He had helped me making my Blog looks like a blog and give me so many advices and tips which were very helpful for me. Yaqoob has a very light and happy nature. Always ready to help others. I wish everyone will have friends like him. Good luck Yaqoob with your blogging and be happy and stay well. :) Don't get changed.
Ashraf Chaudhry [Lahore, Pakistan]
Ashraf Chaudhry: Almost one and half years back, I met him by chance but never knew that he will caste high impact on my personal and professional. He is Muhammad Yaqoob, a social media geek, practitioner and evangelist. A software engineer by profession, he is no doubt an authority on Social Media marketing. The good thing about him is that he is always available to help others. I remember when he personally came to my house to teach me how to start blogging. He himself chose the first template of my blog. I have called him at odd hours whenever I am stuck with some tools and he comes to my rescue. He is expert of all facets of Social Media, be it channels like facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter or corporate blogging or driving traffic to your blog or raising your page ranking. In February 2010, I conducted a public workshop on Social Media under the name of Cracking the Code: How to Use Social Media for Sales & Marketing? He was the one who motivated and enabled me to conduct that commercial workshop. By far, my workshop is the most expensive workshop in Pakistan on Social Media. Muhammad Yaqoob is a successful blogger. I am subscriber to his
blog and his articles enable me to stay updated on a wide range of topics. I am writing this to acknowledge the contribution of my teacher in my life. Muhammad Yaqoob is available at
facebook to help people seeking his guidance on Social Media. Currently, he is associated with
University of Gujrat as a consultant.
Syed Luqman [Media Consultant]
Syed Luqman: Very nice. Despite of maintaining a “Social Entity”, Social media is famous in marketers because of its rabbit growth. It has got immense potential for discovering, building and nurturing disguised relationships. However, instigating and maintaining the growth on social media is an art and I find Yaqoob as the master of it. The philosophy and mind set of this person with brewed integrity, novelty and purity of ideas has evinced as a distinguished factor. I have find Yaqoob as a very creative professional, or rather I would call him an "Idea Machine". His exposure and willingness for incessant learning has made him a master of all trade.
Ginny Wiliams [Florida, United States]
Ginny Wiliams: Well, I've known Yaqoob for about a year now and following his blog started as just a favor for a friend, but as time went on, I realized that his writings were quite good and lots of diversity. He seems to be able to write about anything, while staying neutral in his feelings on that particular subject while writing it.
Preety Phalke [Dehli, India]
Preety Phalke: Yaqoob is a brilliant blogger. So much has been said already about the diversity of the blog but i would love to mention that his blog is not just fun to read but highly informative. His work is commendable to bring together writers and blogging enthusiasts from across boundaries and give them a chance to share their view points with avid readers like us. Good work Yaqoob!
Barry Feig [Author of "HOT BUTTON MARKETING"]

Marvi Sirmad [National Project Manager, UNDP-Islamabad]
Marvi Sirmad: I have been in touch with Muhammad Yaqoob for over one year now and have been following his blog since then. In the beginning I thought it would be a purely corporate blog with largely boring content for a political and economic development analyst like me. But soon I realized that the blog is rich in content that proved greatly useful in my writings. Yaqoob, as a person, has unbeatable qualities of leadership, team building, coordination and organizing. In my efforts to set up and populate my blog, he has been instrumental and so helpful that I don't think I would have been able to claim myself as blogger with out his help. I wish him all the best in all his future endeavors and ensure my support inanything he does.
