TAJ MAHAL - TRIBUTE TO LOVE AND PASSION


The symbol for love and passion have made it again to the list of new wonders of the world.

For those who are not aware of Taj Mahal,

Taj Mahal was built by a muslim emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his dear wife and queen Mumtaz at Agra, India. It is an expression of a 'dream', built out of white marble and standing in formally laid-out walled gardens, the Taj Mahal is regarded as the most perfect jewel of Muslim art in India.The emperor was consequently jailed and, it is said, could then only see the Taj Mahal out of his small cell window.

How many Shah Jahan's can you see in today's world ;) . I bet I will be one of them , if some xyz().. accepts my proposal ... he he.


A mention of new seven wonders of the world,
The Great Wall (Perseverance & Persistence) - China

Petra (Engineering & Protection) - Jordon

Christ Redeemer (Welcoming & Openness) - Brazil

Machu Picchu (Community & Dedication) - Peru

Chichén Itzá (
Worship & Knowledge) - Mexico

The Roman Colosseum (
Joy & Suffering) - Italy
The Taj Mahal (Love & Passion) - India

Yahoo - May I Suggest


Yahoo, one of the leading Web search providers have releasd their suggest search feature. I have tested this out and it's working pretty well. But, it’s sad that Yahoo always seems to be late to the party, because it's been a while Google released their suggest search with this and Y 's suggest is a bit slow compared to that of G 's.

What does this account for you?? Here is my piece,

  • For SEO operations its really useful. It is perhaps a way to find relavant keywords even better.
  • It will help people, search faster and more effectively.

When it's competition, you have to be right up there with your innovation . Hoping to see yahoo catch up with google.

Note: Yahoo's suggest search is not present in country specific yahoo sites .

ZOHO Meeting : Create Meeting - Share Desktop and Chat

I have come across some Web conferencing application (Zohomeeting.com) recently , it is from the zoho suite of office appications. Zoho Meeting lets each member view (zoom in/out) and remotely control the host’s desktop, chat, add participants, email the host, and view meeting details. Chat is handled with Zoho chat (Hope to see VOIP capability in this area) . I'm really impressed with this , for the simple reason because NO Installations required from my part and setting up a meeting is as easy as 3 mouse clicks from my end. Well, here is a learning for all, make it simple for the user , he will surely love it and spread the word ! . It's me right now . I have had altleast 2 meetings a day for about a week now , with my friends in different parts of India and it worked just perfect. You can learn more from here, or here



Some of the pros and cons of zoho meet I have come across,

Pros:
  • Absolutely Free and amazingly fast
  • No Installations required
  • Setting up a meeting is very easy
Cons
  • The presenter has to be on windows.
  • Poor Control over remote(presenter's) machine. I mean , when I request for control over the remote machine, its taking loads and loads of time and integartion with zoho chat is pathetic .
Neverthless , these are still early days for Zoho and I wish them all the best.
