Shafeek,  Your idea is excellent and your efforts to make it multilingual and international is great". Check out his mobile apps on Symbian OS . Ravi kiran, former collegue and alumni friend (VNIT) called up in the evening and congratulated @ourhousehelp.  Avi, a Brigade School going kid, came over from nowhere when I was in children park with my youngest one.  "Uncle, Your photo had come in paper yesterday."

Why Nokia is so paranoid?

Nokia is all over the place with great push for their ovi store. They are in malls, in conferences and in start-up events. They are extending their distribution channel for app developer to connect their customer with their apps. What is in an mobile phone app that Nokia is losing its sleep over? It looks like market share. New India based mobile manufactures have gathered significant marketshare in last couple of years. With companies like Spice,Micromax,Lava and Videocon in the fray. It could be Android too. The adaption of android development environment by developers across Asia and world is one such sign. Second could be price point of touch based devices. Nokia has lowered one of their best offering to about Rs.7k. Other day @mayanks mentioned that he now he has bought the device where will he find the apps. All the fun apps are either on iphone or android. Another could be deployment of 3G. 3G will go hand in hand with smart phones. Interestingly the package offering o...

How is donation pitch different from securities pitch?

Other is an engineering graduate, converted and dons orange color clothes and works for ISKON temple/trust.

How will data make sense?

Data is flowing in every direction and in every possible way. How do we use it to make effective decisions? How can it help us live a better life? Job portals have tonnes of resumes. How can a company reach out to most likely job prospects? How can job prospects reach out to the right fitment? How many times will you repeat shooting in the dark each time a recruitment requirement is thrown across to you? Mobile Operators have tonnes of SMS'es floating across. How can they put the content in context of the user who is sending it? How can they better their service and improve user experience? I get the same promotion three times a day and every day of the week. Why cant the system learn that this user is not interested in this offer at this moment of life?  In every stage of life we are in need of certain things. How can the services around you learn your need and send across the appropriate content and offer to meet them? How effective is mass mailing, mass SMS'es cam...
