Calling Is Now More Fun With Gmail’s New Multiple Calling

by Paul Joseph July 21, 2011 Featured

Gmail has been spreading its wings ever since its first day. Communicating through Gmail has always been easy and comfortable, and Gmail has always looked into improving or reforming the old to give the best to its users. Earlier, when Gmail introduced its calling service over 1,000,000 calls were made from Gmail within one day. This time also Gmail went a step ahead to reform the calling system . There was a time when you could make or receive just one call but Gmail has introduced its new multiple calling system . Now, you are free to make or receive multiple calls. Although there isn’t a feature similar to conference, but you can now put a call on hold and answer another. Once you need to revert back to the previous call, there is the ‘resume’ option for you. Reverting back to the previous call doesn’t require to end the other call. You have the full liberty to switch between calls. You have the full leisure to choose to make a new call , ignore an unwanted call or do some important work while your call is on hold and get back to it once you are done with your work. Gmail has added this feature to all the calling types like voice, video and to phone. There is just one restriction- you can make only two outgoing calls at a time to physical phones. Skype which was acquired by Microsoft is another competitor of Gmail which grants calling services, lately it was added as video calling feature on Facebook and on Android devices. With Google+ ,  ZIP and RAR Support , SMS , updating Facebook and Twitter. This is a good add-on brought out by Google. It will be interesting to see if Skype establishes similar service or brings out something more refined.

People Give +1 to Google+

by Paul Joseph July 12, 2011 Featured

When Google+ was launched few days back, almost everyone was asking just one question. Will Google be able to do this time around? Google has almost taken over the internet space in last few years. But, the only major thing that was missing from its catalog was social networking . But, if we go by the first reactions of Google+ users, it looks like Google has done this time around. Google has already flirted with the social networking space in the past; not just once or twice, but thrice. It’s previous attempts were Orkut , Wave and Buzz , which all failed to make an impact. What e-commerce was to Web 1.0 , social networking is to Web 2.0 . Facebook is reigning at the top in this space with more than 500 million active users . But, Google+ has made Facebook take serious note of it. It was evident when Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg took a hasty news conference on last Wednesday to announce its so-called awesome feature (which was not that awesome after all). Google+ is still an invite-only service. The real test will be when it becomes available to the masses. But, if we go by the initial response, it looks like Facebook has got a serious competitor and may give it a run for its money one or two years down the line. Google+ has got few really interesting features like Circles , Hangout and Sparks . Many people believe that Circles was the best thing to have happened to social networking. Afterall no one wants to share the same stuff with his/her friends, boss and family. Hangout allows Google+ users to make video calls among multiple contacts. Users can also have one-to-one conversations. Facebook has integrated its chat with Skype to counter this feature, but lacks the same functionality. One of the early users of Google+, Nikita Wable says, “ I got invites from two people. My first reaction after joining the service was, Wow! Time to bid adieu to Facebook. I was fascinated with Hangout and other features. But, I am not sure if Google+ will really work. Because when Facebook was launched, people were uncomfortable to shift from Orkut. Only time will tell if Google+ succeeds in attracting people just like Facebook did .” Google+ has attracted massive attention in short span of time since it was launched. One thing is true that Google has done something solid this time. But, only time will tell if it succeeds in dethroning Facebook or not.

Exclusive: Reliance Entertainment’s BigAdda.com Shuts Down Social Networking Site – To Focus On ECommerce

by Paul Joseph July 1, 2011 Featured

You are reading it here first: So finally some sense is being knocked into the Indian Social Networking players. While ibibo continues to spend money on TV ads trying to lure the users for social games. Bigadda.com which is a reliance funded social networking site has called it quits with social networking atleast. They will be focusing on ecommerce in their new daily deals avatar. This is the email Bigadda.com has sent its users: Dear Rajiv, We value and appreciate your long standing support for Bigadda.com. In the past few months we explored our potential as an ecommerce portal by providing branded products at profitable deals to you and have found immense success. We are reaching newer heights everyday and hence are planning an expansion in the same arena. We request you to download all your personal collection of blogs, audio files, video files and images from Bigadda.com as we are scaling down our Social Networking services. Please note that all your old personal data, uploaded on Bigadda.com, shall not be available after July 15 2011. Log on to  http://www.bigadda.com/frontpage/bigaddaHomepage/ now and download your personal files. In case you have forgotten your password please  click here to retrieve it. Regards. BIGADDA.com Team As you can see from above they are clearly asking users to download their personal stuff from the website before it shuts shop on July 15th. The New Bigadda is an ecommerce portal The BigAnda? Insiders from Reliance told us that Bigadda was anyways considered BigAnda (Big zero) internally and was usually compared to Zapak the gaming portal in number of users. The path for BigAdda has been one filled with struggle as far as social networking was concerned. It launched with huge mainline ad spends in TV advertising.. We have a history of news that we covered here on WATBlog on Bigadda. 8th May 2007 – BigAdda Launched! – Is it worth the hype? 7th Aug 2007 – The Big Ad Campaign Begins – BigAdda 27th Aug 2007 – BigAdda rides high on TV Advertising. Still disappoints 17th April 2008 – Just In: Amitabh Bachchan Launches Blog On BigAdda.com! 29th August 2008 – BigAdda Sees Big Numbers: Targets Over US$ 4 Million in Revenue in The Next Year 12th Nov 2008 – BigAdda Claims 3 Million Users – Says 50% from Tier II & III 20th April 2009 – Harbhajan Singh Blogs On BigAdda – Celebrity Blogging The Future Of Bigadda? As you can see last 2 years Bigadda has not had much to talk about. It did try doing some online reality shows but again wasn’t able to scale the same. The recent resurgence of ecommerce startups which follow to Groupon model has led to Bigadda reinventing itself by leaving the social networking mantle and holding the ecommerce one. Its refocus seems to have come a little too late as this space too is very crowded with likes of Infibeam, Ebay, Snapdeal, Flipkart, Mydala and offlate Groupon too entering the Indian arena. What about Big B? One wonders what would happen to BigB’s blog where he continues to blog away? No announcement yet on this front. All we can see though that the homepage of BigAdda doesn’t even mention or link to the blog anymore. Hopefully Bigadda can change its reputation from BigAnda this time around.

Kotak’s Mobile Stock Trading Solution Coming To iOS And Android Devices

by Paul Joseph June 20, 2011 Featured

Kotak’s Mobile Stock Trader application which was earlier available only on Symbian and Blackberry phones is now  expanding its presence in the iOS and Android ecosystems. It will allow users to trade and view stock quotes on their mobile phones for free. SEBI (Security and Exchange Board of India) had approved mobile stock trading apps in August 2010. Now people can trade on-the-go through their internet enabled mobile phones. SEBI has set strict guidelines for these apps to ensure the safety of its users. Last we heard the mobile trading was growing at a slow rate but showed promises. Earlier, Reliance had launched its own Mobile Trading solution through a cell phone optimized website. Kotak has chosen to take the native app route instead of a browser based interface for trading, which considering the current scenario of mobile browsers is a good choice. The app takes advantage of Kotak Securities’ strong back end infrastructure to deliver a desktop like experience to users. Some of its features according to the press release are Place trades on-the-go Allows users to check their portfolio and account details Real time updates of the stock market The app is fully synchronized with other trading platforms offered by Kotak Securities Users who aren’t Kotak customers can make virtual portfolios and create watch lists Kotak intends to increase its  penetration in tier II cities and towns through this application. Their aim is to increase the investor base to 50% of the population over the next decade. It currently stands at 2% . The fact that the app is available to non- customers as well for free is a well disguised move to lure potential traders to deal through Kotak Securitie s. At the time of writing this, the app wasn’t available on the iOS AppStore so we couldn’t give the it a try. The one thing to look forward to in the app is the real time updates of the stock market and the interactive charts and graphs. Stock trading has moved on from the traditional phone based trading to the internet and now mobile. It is very likely that social networks would be stockbroking companies next target. To check if the Kotak Mobile Stock trading app is available for your phone visit  http://m.kotaksecurities.com from your mobile browser and tell us your experience.
