Indian web companies letting things go away

Indian companies don't seems to be serious about business. Product up-time is very necessary for it to gai market share. But i saw things going in the wrong direction today.

Indiatimes mail is not working. Just think the mail service used by few is not up and people will move out, so they will be left with nothing. Also there mail service use Zimbra and hence do not launch new service in a shorter period, making user get bored. There is a bigger issue with Indiatimes mail is that you cannot export contact. So, user may fell like a jail.

Second problem is with rediff. Rediff has services like Page and Zarabol which do not require rediffmail.com account and you can very well use rediff account which is created by using your mail id. But this advantage they loose as registration cannot be done and it throws an error while trying to register.

Hope Rediff and Indiatimes will become little serious and will provide India with better products and services.

Google Vs FB 2012

2011 ends, 2012 begins but there are somethings which will not change. One of them is the big social fight : Google Vs Facebook. Google came up with the major weapon "PLUS" to beat FB. 2011 witness the Google most serious attempt to capture the social.

Google Plus is already integrated to the most of the Google services as well as most of the news and blogs. Also its user base seems to be active enough. There are chances that slowly and steady it will becomes a giant like Facebook. We should note that once the social network have few of our friends active soon many will join it, hence pumping up the growth.

Most importantly, Google plus is also moving into Enterprise with Google apps as solution for social, video conference (Hangouts) etc. This is where Facebook lags.

2011 already have been an year of victory for the Google products and services like Search and Android. Android not only beats the BB and Symbian but also iOS, that too by a large margin. And when it comes to search bing don't even stands near by.

Its the time to enjoy the Biggest Internet War 2012 : PLUS VS FB
