gaana.com a well organised music library

Indiatimes new creation Gaana.com is a good library for the music lover. You can search and listen the music of your choice as well as create your own playlist by signing in using FB or Twitter and even create your own gaana.com account.

Being an alpha version still its very stable and works smooth for me. I was able to search all Hindi as well as English songs. Even some of my Punjabi friend told me that he can find many old Punjabi songs which he used to love listening. But i was not able to find the Pakistani song nahi-re-nahi. Anyways i find this gaana.com a good !dea and overall had a good experience.

Google, Facebook and Twitter have eaten up all the internet market share from the Indian Companies like rediff and sify. But Indian Internet companies have found a way to survive and work on innovation other that competing with the Giants. E-commerce, Jobs and news are still dominated by the Indian Internet companies like Flipkart, Naukri, Times Of India etc.

So such innovative !deas like gaana will help Indian Companies to servive against Internet companies like Facebook and Google.

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
