The articles and posts published on this page (let me stress again that it's just a hobby, nothing financial) are now available on http://ift.tt/1BVY7X9 which I registered yesterday. My primary blog remains hosted at http://ift.tt/Zw3I8L but I guess I'll only post longer and more insightful content there, instead of copy-pasting from this page and making a mess of the visual interface.

Some FAQs
Is this page commercial/sponsored?
No, it's just a volunteered page. And no, there won't be any sponsored content or ads. I simply maintain this page because because I like to share quality content, and doing so also gives me the opportunity to revise what I know. I believe these posts may be of interest to you, and that's why it's a public page, as opposed to some private journal.
Also, none of my blogs are sponsored/commercial.
Where do you post your content?
I post directly on Google+, from where, the posts are automatically crossposted via scripts to Facebook and Blogger. They are the same posts, just on different media.
Why is there somewhat more India-specific content on your page?
I am from India, and definitely my culture and location will have a slight effect on what I post. But rest assured, I won't post anything blindly championing India above everything else.
Who maintains this page?
This is important. I am +Anirban Chatterjee, and this needs to be clarified. Recently I got a message on my profile that accused me of stealing Stuff That Matter's content, and claiming it to be my own. However, we are one person. Sometimes I copy-paste a post from here on to my profile, so as to prevent automatic keyword-based crossposting that has been enabled for this page.
Why is there no unifying theme in your posts?
Here, I'll answer as Levitt did, as mentioned in his book Freakonomics. Maybe a unifying theme is not so important after all!
Ok, jokes aside, consider this page like a repository of facts that are interesting (to me, at least). It never claims or attempts to cover everything, but there's still a little something posted here.
Should I add you as a page or profile?
If you like, you are welcome to follow this page, but you may also want to add me as a person and not some trivia-writing, emotionless machine. But just 2 things:
1. My profile, +Anirban Chatterjee, won't always feature the posts I share here. It will, from now onwards, be about more personal and light-hearted stuff, opinion-related content, things I share while reading news or browsing the web, etc.
2. This page, on the other hand, is more structured and formal. I'll try to keep it as neutral as possible.
What are the communities you reshare your posts on?
Mainly the Science on Google+ community, perhaps the best community as present, on G+. I also occasionally reshare posts at the India+ community, which I moderate with a bunch of nice folks. Very occasionally though, I may share a topic-specific post from here to some community covering the same topic.
What's your incentive?
Well, first of all, writing about stuff makes me understand and revise them better. This for itself it a strong inventive.
Secondly, everyone loves a bit of attention now and then. I hate the SAMs (shameless attention mongers, as I call them), be it their SEO or relentless use of hashtags, and I try not to become a narcissist like most bloggers out there. But when you have a page with some visually pleasing stuff, you automatically get a sense of achievement.
Perhaps this is why, we like to do meaningful work.
Thank you,
Anirban Chatterjee
