Tagline – it’s a struggle to make, it can build or destroy a website, a person or a business. Scary huh, well, maybe not, but having a tagline that leaves an imprint to the minds of people is dramatic and awesome.
Wikipedia gives tagline a definition
a variant of a branding slogan typically used in marketing materials and advertising. The idea behind the concept is to create a memorable phrase that will sum up the tone and premise of a brand or product (like a film), or to reinforce the audience’s memory of a product. Some taglines are successful enough to warrant inclusion in popular culture.
Wiki also informs us about the different types of taglines
- Descriptive: An uncommon or confusing product or a brand with an unusual name benefits from a tagline that adds clarity.
- Benefit Based: Taglines can focus attention on a key benefit.
- Point of Difference: Telling people how a brand is better can help a brand stand out in a highly competitive market place.
- Witty Catchphrase: Phrases that catch fire and spread virally can boost brand effectiveness.
- Personality: A tagline can convey brand personality.
- Visionary: A tagline that evokes the mission or vision of the company can help a company with a lot of products in many countries present a unified message.
- Provocative or Motivating: Taglines can make people think twice and motivate action.

Internet Access, Freedom for All says UN
A global debate once again emerge as United Nations declare access to internet as a basic human right.
The internet does not only provide ease of communication but also it can be a source of empowerment. Through accessing the internet we can get the latest news, we can use it to learn and expand our knowledge, useful tool for networking too.
Here are some of Internet-User related statistics:
My thoughts:
Balance must be explored between freedom to connect to the internet and other core rights in the cyber world-privacy, intellectual property as well as child protection to name a few. Clearly, there is a dispersed variation across nations and cultures in terms of values and interests. Pragmatically significant among international issues are child abuse and child pornography. How does this newly established human right to connect to the internet address similar issues?
Aside from OpenNet Initiative, countries on their own or with the help of the United Nations must focus on internet monitoring and filtering of content however, more resources should be allocated to get this done. What about the third world countries, are they ready for this? I think work is needed and the best possible solutions must be explored to protect our rights and values in this digital age.
