Perspectives

If you’re a Web developer, or have an interest in web and online standards, and you also like booze, then Pub Standards is the place for you. If you don’t like booze, but don’t mind hanging out in a pub with a fresh lime soda, that’s good too.

The plan is to meet at a pub somewhere near Brigade Road, talk about web standards, and current trends on the web, have a few drinks, have a lot of fun and meet new people.

Be there.

Here is a killer feature. The good part of the blogosphere and the entire user controlled web is that, one pays little or no money to get PR. You have to be close and dear to the user. And if you are, people do the PR better and faster than you ever will. The virality is a win-win situation for both the User and the businesses. It works very well for the big G, decently well for Yahoo! and Microsoft, but is a dream come true for those small websites and services who cant afford to spend a whole lot on gaining traction. Here is one of that story.

Now, MapmyIndia could (I am sure they are, though! ) just concentrate on getting every road and building into their map. Alternatively, they could put their existing data to the best use. And that is what they are trying to do now. Are you throwing an open invite for your birthday party? Are you blogging about recent tensions in bangalore? Or maybe your last trip to sikkim? You can do it all with the map right there.

Super! So, btw, I lie here somewhere…
