Indiatimes is the most popular Internet and mobile value-added services destination for the global Indian. So it’s been well over a year and a half in the making, and the in the meantime the bloom appears to have gone off the social networking boom in India: finally Times Internet (Indiatimes) has soft-launched its social networking site – itimes.com.
Take a look around here (screencap). itimes users are given an email address separate from Indiatimes. Considering the media push around Indiatimes Mail, I wonder why they went ahead with a login and email separate from Indiatimes. A screencap of the profile page here. There’s also a gaming zone, much like Indiatimes has a gaming zone. The site has blogs, but again – what about O3? itimes has a classifieds section/marketplace, similar to YoList.
You can invite your friends from popular email clients like Gmail, AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.
Social Networking sites are one of the best way to increase your blog traffic by creating new friends and sharing your information. There are many social media sites like Digg, Stumbleupon, Facebook, twitter, linkedin which are very popular. I just registered for this site to check the features.

Google has launched its new gadget the Google India Elections Center to help engage India’s 700 million eligible voters in the country’s 15th general election, set to take place over the course of the next month. Google launched similar web based election centers in the U.S. Internet giant Google on Monday unveiled an online resource in English and Hindi for voters taking part in India’s general elections later this month. and Australia in the past, but Google India’s election center has some new features which make it worth a look.
Available in English and Hindi, Google’s Indian election center lets Indian citizens confirm their voter registration status (which is a new feature that wasn’t fully implemented in the U.S. or Australian versions), find their polling location, view their constituency on a map and access election news. Voters can also get in-depth data about the area where they vote, including changes in literacy, poverty, and employment rates in the constituency since the last election. Voters can learn about the background of their Member of Parliament and this year’s candidates, and are able to see politician’s voting records, and attendance. The site will also feature updates on election schedules, online polls, discussion forums, opinions and photos.
Google has partnered with the Hindustan Times, and a number of NGOs, including, the Association for Democratic Reforms, Indicus Analytics, the Janaagraha Centre for Citizenship and Democracy, the Liberty Institute, and PRS Legislative Services. Yahoo developed a similar site for Indian citizens last week, but Yahoo’s site doesn’t seem to be as comprehensive as Google India’s election site.
The Google India Election Centre will help the Indian citizens with the following aspects of the election process:
* Checking the voter registration status
* Locating the polling center
* Checking out the respective constituency on a map
Google primarily provides search and advertising services, which together aim to organize and monetize the world’s information. In addition to its dominant search engine, Google India Elections Center Will be more popular and rocking news to all the world.

Darren Waters get a demonstration of how Microsoft’s new touch screen works.As the South by Southwest 2009 conference moves its focus away from interactive and on to film and music after today, some juicy details of Microsoft’s follow-up to Surface have appeared.
First of all we won’t be seeing Surface 2 for at least two years as Microsoft still have it in the development phase and it currently carries the working name of “Second Light”. The updated surface will retain the multi-touch interface we are now getting used to, but introduce a second layer on which to display information.
This additional layer is made possible by adding a second projector to Second Light. Effectively this means that as well as interacting with objects on the screen you can also overlay additional information above it. We can therefore assume Second Light has two levels of interactive surface that work independently opening the way for more detailed information to be presented and managed on the screen.
A surprise addition, but one that will surely bring some interesting new ideas to Second Light, is the introduction of gestures. This will allow the user to make gestures with their hands above the device to carry out actions on screen.
I think it’s clear that Surface is a long-term project for Microsoft of technology that ultimately may end up becoming the new standard interface for interaction with a lot of gadgets. Right now it is very expensive, but so is all new technology that hits the market and this cost will eventually come down. I’d be surprised if Surface 2 wasn’t cheaper than Surface not only to develop but at retail regardless of the new features it introduces.
The information about Second Light given above may just be experiments Microsoft are carrying out in the lab and not final functionality. With at least two years before release you can expect the team to still be experimenting as they already have the core system in place from the original Surface. I think the gesture system is the most interesting addition as it should greatly increase the control you have over the information on the screen – multi-touch input can only take you so far.
For now Surface is too expensive for individuals to own and Surface 2 is just an R&D project inside Microsoft. What version of Surface do you think we’ll be up to before it’s as common and cheap as touchscreen technology is today?
