BREAKING : Google +1 button now can send content to Google Plus

Google has quietly converted all the Google +1 buttons spread all across the internet to buttons capable tof sending and sharing content on Google Plus. This 1 step will be the biggest thing done by Google since the day they launched Google Plus. Suddenly the reach of Google Plus has increased manifolds and this is the first insight into the fact the API of Google plus to let third party apps work with it is almost ready. Soon we should be able to potentially see more uses of this API though Vic has said that he won't release the API for third party unless he is confident enough that they won't pollute the user stream. I totally agree with his view, he is right that Google should not fight Facebook by following in its foot step. It needs to create reliable alternative which ensure Google changes the competitive field instead of fighting with Facebook in areas of Facebook's strength. For all those who were criticizing Google for going slow on supporting its Google Plus platf...

Finally Google Plus integrated with Youtube

Google has finally done what the Google Plus users have been asking all this while. Youtube now provides automatic sharing option for Google Plus unlike the +1 button which was adorning the Youtube videos till now. Even now the biggest source of videos on Facebook is Youtube and Google never mind it since it was still making money on the ads shown on its videos at Facebook. Youtube which is most prized jewels of Google's crown by virtue is its position of pre eminence in the world of video sharing and viewing. It has consistently being among the most viewed sites in all the surveys. It was only a matter of time before Youtube had to come to support its brother Google Plus but it is nice to have it now. The sooner the better. Bringing a more seamless experience for users by tying all the Google services together will help Google leverage its resources and network much better. While the whole tech world is going ga ga and crib crib on Google putting GOOGLE PLAY ( new name for An...

How LinkedIn is the next social network to be disrupted

Amidst all the talk of upcoming Facebook IPO , most people forget about one of the first in the social network lot to get IPO done. LINKEDIN. Analysts love LINKEDIN because it is earns money other than ads and seems to show a business model . Well all correct but is everything so hunky dory .... I guess not ... being a prolific social networking and internet user, in my experience , LINKEDIN has been most inconveninient site in terms of user experience . Some illustrations why it is social network which will be disrupted by someone who will care more for its users - 1) If a high end user like me with > 5000 users in GMAIL address book tries to import his address book into LinkedIn , he is not allowed to do it.  When after 8-10 mails to support team, they bother to reply, they tell that  LinkedIn doesn't allow big address books and I should manually copy them. My reaction, every social network in the world wants address book and tries to make it simple but LinkedIn makes it...

Taqraar

Saath chorna hi hota to kabhi haath pakda bhi nahi hota, Do pal intezar bhi nahi karna tha to kabhi saath chala bhi nahi hota, Kehte hain wo ki door rahe unse hum ab, Kya samjhaye unhe Kafir aaj hum ab, Door hi rehna hota to kabhi paas aaya bhi nahi hota Paraya hi banana hota to kabhi apna hi banaya na hota
