Web 2.0 Service Reviews

admin — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 11:17:52 +0000

There are lots and lots of Web 2.0 services budding these days, and they are all going thru their own promotional strategies, and at times we dont get any alerts of these new services, and if we miss out that is something useful for us, we are the loosers.

That made me look around for blogs that I can put up on my rss reader where I could get updates, and I found a co blogger, who writes a cool looking review site, and apart from just web 2.0, the site also reviews financial services, travel services, real estate, shops, and offers a good range of toolboxes.

If you got anything at all on your feed reader, you should have this site in there. and it would do you good.

And my feed hunt still continues.

Tata Buys Jaguar and Land Rover

Jaguar and Land Rover are famous around the world. I wont forget the Right Hand Drive Jaguar that the reporter used in Odessa File. The car with the heavy suspension. The villans placed a bomb in the suspension of the car and it explodes only when it hits a very big bump at a high speed, and not during the normal action of the suspension wheile the reporter, our hero, drives it.

The Land Rover too is a good brand. I have read about them in many books either. Have seen 1 in Pondicherry. But have been unlucky that I couldnt drive one yet. Now I guess that dream will come ture soon. Tata has bought these two brands, and they will be coming soon to India, God willing. I dont really plan to fly to UK to drive one of these.

Tata has done a good thing.

Sixty and still young, Ratan Tata in my opinion is working with the enthusiasm of a child. He was making Truck Chassis and steel, now he is making top class cars, has made the cheapest car in the world which will hit the market in about 6 months, acquired a steel company, and now has acquired 2 major car brands.

While its just a dream for many to buy cars of these brands, it is almost impossible to buy the whole brand, completely for quite a big amount.

Tata doesnt pay from his pocket. Banks and Institutions lend him money, and those businesses that he acquires repay the loans. And he gets to own the brand. At this rate, in another 20 years before Ratan Tata would retire, guess where he would be.

Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail

So, to determine who is providing the best free email service, in my opinion should be based on the following criteria.

1. Who provides the best email service, with respect to the space that is offered, the interface, the ease of use, spam and virus protection etc.

2. Who provides the best service when it comes to the speed of delivery of emails, speed of receipt of emails, and the speed of attaching anything to your mail.

3. How well the spam guard works, how many mails that were intended for the inbox are reaching the spam box and how many mails that are spam are reaching the inbox.

4. How much the service is exploiting the mail that you send out with advertisments to generate money, without respecting your privacy, and how much ads you see when you are receiving mails in your inbox.
