what's [in] the new buzz ?? Does it add value? or is it just another redundant app. I thought google was bit late in coming up with this new feature. Never mind the legal hurdles. It missed a trick by shying away from interoperability. The fact is interoperability is the buzz word and "buzz" decides to ignore it. Sigh ! Another interesting fact is buzz allows you to connect with twitter by allowing you to import twitter posts to buzz..BUT doesn't add your buzz posts onto twitter. Beats me!

We made a very interesting concept live yesterday. Naukri.com - CVnotes. On the lines of the twitter concept, its your own professional microblog. And the kind of notes i've seen so far are bang-on. Exactly what we wanted. Jobseekers are not waiting for the CV to be updated on the jobsites. They just add it to the CVnotes and ... recruiters can view them in seconds. I am a very happy man today. The concept has been developed into a product and it is live for millions of jobseekers to use. Very satisfying.

Readwrite web just published their "First impression" on an amazing search cum computational engine - WolframAlpha. In comparison to google, it is different in the sense that "Instead of searching the web for info, Alpha is built around a vast repository of curated data from public and licensed sources. Alpha then organizes and computes this knowledge with the help of sophisticated Natural Language Processing algorithms"

Voters in this lok sabha elections will be proud to show their middle fingers to the politicians. Com'on ... that is to prove that their participation in the voting process. Interestingly election commission has issued guidelines to paint the middle fingers with the ink. This is because the index finger may still have the mark from the recently concluded local-body elections. Hence a new finger to avoid the confusion.
I am still not sure why they preferred to chose the middle finger out of the remaining 3 fingers & a thumb :-)
