Bernard Lunn calls it the “Mainstream Web”. He believes that the Mainstream Web is all about revenue, fixing the one big weakness of Web 2.0! Read the full article here.
This seems to be an apt reply for an earlier post I made in this regard. Well that’s social networking for you - it seems to [...]

Web 2.0, no 3.0. Wait there’s another name!
Got an idea - well that’s all you need!
That is what the newly launched, Prototype Invest promises. Just submit your idea on their website. If they like your idea they will develop the application for you free of cost and in return take a share of your equity. In fact their catch line is “Apps for Equity”. Quite an interesting model I must [...]

Well that seems to be the attitude of several smokers in my office. 1 cigarette = at least 1 person asking for a light. I’ve observed that several times people just walk up to me and extend their hand without saying a word. As if I’m freakin’ obliged to give them a light. So much [...]
Speak what you write!
Sakshi recently told me that I’m more romantic/caring on text than in normal life. While I’ve always been aware that I do ‘write’ a little better than I ’speak’, her statement was a revelation that is probably true as well.
