    Interesting. But all the numbers, still do not answer some of my basic questions like:

    1) How much of penetration would this achieve in India?

    2) obviously there is a segment that would go for this; however there is still a much larger segment who can afford but does not understand Social Media, though they do understand Social & Media separately.

    3) The % ratio of usage currently is too low.

    4) The Net; computer; mobile penetration or rather correctly usage to be able to deploy social media is still some time away.

    5) Also any one of them spoils you for choice e.g. - tech info - on twitter if you just open the links & try to read them, you end up frittering away your time.

    Don't know how but there has to be a way to harness all of this in the Indian Context.

    Hi Anaggh,
    Thanks for your comment. Your concerns are very justified.

    Even my research shows that the majority of twitter users are from west and that the percentage of people in India are low compared to that. Further most twitter user at East are students, bloggers and very few entrepreneurs.

    The awareness of the potential might be lacking. From my experience in twitter, I can say that there are very energetic and potential young minds, making there way through it. And its quite encouraging.

    For a serious marketing platform and so. we still have lot to go and harness this Social Media Optimization.

    Cheers!

Good Ad Versus Bad Ad

At InRev , for past few days we have been working on our new project. The project is about collaborative blogging, from the blogger around the world. As Bhupendra and I have been blogging for long time, with his immense experience, our team has been working to revamp the globalthoughtz and create a new blogging experience. In this site, we are planning to add a section where people can add their advertisement. We thought lets start by our own :), with already so many products on the line, it was obvious. So there goes an effort to create a small 128 px by 128 px logo. If you are a designer, you know that designing is a very time consuming process. For hours, you just test around with colors. Remember there are 256 X 256 X 256 combination of colors!! Its hard job selecting one. Lets start with F-Cube : In short F-cube is a Free Economic Reporting Site. Let me exhibit some Ad made for it and its pros and cons. (Please don't click on the image. Wait till the end. Thank You) OK, h...

Bruce Lee

Yes. Bruce Lee . Remember all the punches and kicks in his all time hits movies. But why am I talking about him. Am I going to talk about his movies? No, I am not. I am going to say about his philosophies which have been so many times projected in his fighting styles. By the way, he also wrote a book. Many may not know but he had a unique way of thinking about the life and his art of fighting. Let me put forwards his thinking, in my own words.   He believed in efficiency and rejected any amount of redundancy that affected the performance. He believed that there is no one style which is correct. Everyone has their own unique way and must harness those skills rather waste their time in doing something that is not efficient at all.  There are many fighting styles carrying their own norms and values. Every style starts by assuming something. But slowly those assumption are taken as a Gospel truth, and people make them into rules which cannot be broken. But, without understanding the key me...

Being an Artist and Being an Entrepreneur is almost similar

Most people flock to big cities to pursue their dreams and struggle for years. Some people succeed but many still find themselves waiting for the opportunities. They consider that opportunity is the biggest thing that can actually leverage their talent or skill. But I believe that it is not always so. There are couple of examples that proves that opportunity along is not everything. Moreover in today’s media hyped world, opportunities are everywhere from a reality TV shows to your own youtube channel, twitter account or facebook profile. If you look around in youtube, there are lots of artists doing great with their skills and scaling them to offline. This gives a lot of encouragement to all those people who want to pursue their passion. But there is a reality beyond pursuing your dreams that everyone considers once in a while. It’s how far you can take yourself with what you have. Most people get stuck on it and lose their passion in mid way, and some people simply cannot go beyon...
