Just to inform, that i changed the look of myntfresh.com. Experimenting a bit with the dark, as opposed to the lighter one being used earlier. Would love to hear feedback on the same! If i carry on this tinkering with the themes and the inbuilt code, i’ll probably end up becoming a software developer….what i’ve been avoiding all these years!

With all due respect, facebookji, i find it surprising you have made it so tough for anyone to search for facebook pages. i tried for 15 odd minutes, and other than the generic search, tehre was no way for me to search for a specific page or browse through pages. i can do so with groups, though. Odd, that when i googled my dilemma, i got to know that by visiting facebook pages i can actually do that, just the way i am doing with groups…odd. if pages are so popular (zoozoo for example) and so many people get confused about whether to go with groups or pages when launching a brand on facebook, then fb should sure have taken care of this teeny weeny aspect, and made it easier for us to search for pages!

Been to ibnlive.com lately? I personally think it’s a mess. With a 100 widgets vying for your attention, specially with each portal of network 18 fighting for a few pixels here and there, on the site, i would much rather stay away. It would still have been fine if the coding had been done right. But imagine seeing a footer and the footer links opening up at the top of the page? And then i thought maybe that’s a browser issue (had opened in IE), so i went to my dearest firefox, and the tables had truly turned there….the footer was now jostling for space with the articles placed towards the bottom of the page! (both screenshots attached).

Saw a story on alootechie: “A group of students of the 2009 graduating batch of IIT Kharagpur’s Vinod Gupta School of Management (VGSOM) have launched ShaadiEasy.com, a marriage logistics portal that will provide prospective brides and grooms with information on marriage halls, caterers, invitation card printers, car rentals and other services involved in a marriage process.”

Whom to vote for? Whom have you voted for? Why did fewer people vote in 2009 as compared to 2004? Why have all the various campaigns: lead india, jaagore, CEC campaigns like pappu and rab ne bana di jodi, jai ho, public service ads by the incumbent government coaxing people to vote and so on….have not resulted in any meaningful impact in these elections. I’ll probably attribute the decline to the following factors:

Have you heard the new my airtel my offer campaign by airtel?
the sequel to the love story that started last year…? I heard it a few times yesterday, while IPL was on, and coudln’t help wonder about the stupid error in the script! Watch it to hear Vidya Balan say: “Duniya bhar me sun raha hu, har jagah cutbacks, aur tum ho ki….”
Mademoiselle, do you think you should have said “duniya bhar me sun rahi hu” and not sun raha hu?
Was the spot originally written for madhavan uttering this line and not balan? and the roles got reversed at the very end?
assuming airtel has amongst the best marketing brains and a fairly good agency on its rolls, is this mistake too obvious to not be caught by anyone?
As it is, vodafone with its zoozoo is taking away all the glory from other telecom operators this season, with a brilliantly designed campaign, and then airtel comes up with repeated telecasts of the same ad, and when you have caught a mistake once, you just keep on waiting to catch it again and again right…that’s what’s happening with me!
vidya ji, thodi savdhani barki hoti aapne to aaj ye din dekhne ko nahi milta
