I am happy to announce first of its kind blog contest on Knowliz.com
Suggest acronym for ‘KNOWLIZ‘ and enter into a chance of winning 100GB online storage space and many other prizes.
What you have to do?
The task is simple. You have to suggest a acronym (Full meaningful explanation) for the word ‘KNOWLIZ‘. You can break the word in whatever way you want it to come up with a meaningful acronym. It is not necessary to break each letter.
What is an acronym?
As wikipedia explains, Acronyms are abbreviations that are formed using the initial components in a phrase or name. These components may be individual letters, and/or parts of words. Some examples are:
FAQ : Frequently Asked Questions
USA : United States of America
BBC : British Broadcasting Corporation
CEO : Chief Executive Officer
RADAR : RAdio Detection And Ranging
LASER : Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emmission of Radiation
You got the idea, right. It is quite simple. Just think of something creative to come up with KNOWLIZ.
KNOWLIZ = ???????
Hint : Knowliz was created by keeping Knowledge in mind to share information on technology, computers, internet and other stuff.

Thanks for your comment. I hope you always keep coming on my blog.
Don’t be shy while leaving a comment on any blog. It helps the author to know more about the article/blog and the reader. And accordingly the author can adjust his writing style to suit most of the readers.
Feedback (good or bad) is always appreciated from the readers. That’s the only gauge how I am performing on my blog.
Hope you found your visit worthwhile.
Thanks
