Blogging has resulted in widespread presence of Loyola alumni on the internet. And yes, some of the best comments are by non-Loyolites on the Loyola blogs. People like Fr Pulickal and Ms Deepa Pillai are known to people who haven’t seen Loyola!

I had hoped to make loyolites.com a kind of portal, but for that, we need a volunteer with technical knowledge (PHP, MySQL) for 3-4 days of work.

One of the most interesting search results for Loyola that I ever found on the net was in ’99-’00, the home page of one senior, Binu, which was hosted by Stanford University where he had a page dedicated to Fr.Pulickal with the caption, “Under the Tamarind’s Shade” and a class photo of I believe the 1988 batch for which Puli was the class teacher and a javascript code enabled around each of the boys’ heads when clicked would take you to a page with the clicked guy’s nickname and a humorous caption about him! I had it saved in my computer at home…if I find it when I go back, I will send it to you, to post here.

As for loyola on the internet, the best comment i read ever, was a fellow holy angeles blogger telling another of her ilk…”seems like loyolites have taken over blogosphere like no other school”! It will be great to see if we could dig out the first initiatives on the net and know where it all started from!
