DELL is back again & is promoting entrepreneurship & is encouraging people to TAKE THEIR OWN PATH.
Dell has lauched this website - takeyourownpath & has given examples for five entrepreneurs who chose to be entrepreneurs & their success stories are given in the website. The main content of the website is the step by step procedure (explained very well in detail) of how to start your own business from scratch from Getting started to finances to marketing to security.
I think its a must read for people who are planning to be entrepreneurs or have just started their journey.

KhojGuru - Another startup in the search domain
As we all know search is the number one activity online & it is also one of the most difficult businesses to step into because there are already established global leaders in this domain but Indian startups are trying to win over them by taking an advantage in local search in the country.With already some search startups like Burrp, Guruji, Asklaila etc now here is another search startup khojguru. It gives us information about movies, restaurants etc with the reviews of various places so that you can actually read from people who have already been to those places & then decide where to go. It also gives us sms discount coupons of restaurants & clothing shops and accessories. I think this sms discounts can really help them build their portal as they have some good brands like Ferns n Petals, Khajja Chowk etc discounts with them.

Laxmi Mittal loses more money per hour than people earn in a year
Due to world economic crisis happening these days, its leading to bankrupcys, selloffs etc & even big businesses have been losing a lot of money making the condition worse.
In this global crisis, Lakshmi Mittal who was reported to be the world's 4th richest person in the world is losing about 7 million pounds per hour which is more than a normal person earns in a year. Over the last four months he has been losing about 180 million pounds a day which makes it 7 million pounds in an hour.
The way things are going i think the world is leading to the same situation like the Great Depression of the 1930's because most of the people around are losing a lot of money with banks failing, real estate makets collapsing, Stock markets crashing etc etc etc and the list goes on. Whatever the economists say, i think the worst is yet to come....

Live Traffic Details in Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune
These days there is a major problem in our lives when we get out of our houses & that is traffic. Government is builiding Roads, flyovers etc but still there has not been much improvement atleast in the capital, where i live. Now we have a service to check online or on mobile the live traffic details of Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune using maps.
With the mapping services they also have the networking component as people can contact each other via email or sms for carpool. If we come to think of it this website can be so useful as it can save time, fuel, money, energy, save environment(less pollution), inconvinience etc for the common people. So all the people who don't have the Nokia Navigation Services then this is the best service available.

Google with the Indian Police Dept. teaches smart online behaviour to students
With the increasing rate of CyberCrimes in India, Google has teamed up with the Indian Police Dept. and the Internet and Mobile association of India & started off the campaign of educating school students about cybercrimes and how to avoid it.
This campaign started off in Mumbai and now being run in metros including Chennai and Kolkata.
The campaign includes general "how to" and "what not to do" instructions and students were instructed not to divulge any kind of personal information to an unknown person online, to disclose passwords, date of birth and other sensitive information over the net.
I think this is a nice and innovative effort to teach the youngsters about the harms of the internet because of the increasing use of social networking sites which is a matter of great concern.

TradeIndia.com's News portal for SME's

TradeIndia is actually serving a lot of SME's in India so i guess this portal will be serve good value to those SME's & now people will regularly log into their website for latest news & updates. So i guess TradeIndia has used a good strategy to attract new businesses to get listed in their site as it is primarily a B2B listing site.

DelhiDareDevils & KolkataKnightRiders lauches official Websites
Two IPL teams launched their official websites yesterday, Delhi and Kolkata. Delhi team known as DelhiDareDevils backed by GMR Infrastructure & Kolkata team known as KolkataKnightRiders backed by none other than King Khan.
It seems as if both the teams do not only have competition on the field but off the field too.
Both the websites are flash made & take some time to load.
If KolkataKnightRiders has King Khan then DelhiDareDevils has Akshay Kumar (who is based in Delhi) which puts both the starts against each other in IPL.
These marketing techniques are necessary for the introduction of IPL in India as it is a somehow a new concept in the game of cricket in a cricket crazy nation. To make it big, owners of IPL teams have to pull up their teams using marketing techniques & Digital marketing will play a vital part in it.
This is just the beginning. Lets see what happens next.
Hungry Kya ? - Order food Online
E-commerce latest trend up in Bangalore is ordering food online. There are actually two website in the web space as far as i know. Hungrybangalore.com was the first one i guess & now Webdhaba. It seems as if Bangalore is one hungry place with a lot of foodies.
As of right now Webdhaba is only in bangalore but hungrybangalore has added other cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, Hyderabad etc.
It looks as if Webdhaba have not really focused on their website design. They could have made the site delicious when it comes to serving people who love food but hungrybangalore has made it well with an easy interface.
I am sure most people prefer calling up a restaurant & ordering food but i guess foodies would love to try their service.

Do u make music ? Get an Audience at Muziboo.com
Muziboo.com, a Bangalore based startup provides a platform for new & wannabe musicians & showcase their skills - be it Singer, guitarist, drummer etc.
In this community one can upload their creation (Mp3 format) & people interested listen to it & give their comments or give their advice.
This is a 6 month old startup & its continuously making improvements like changing their look & recently they have made a radio widget with a collection of approx 150 original songs in English & Hindi.
If one wants to be a professional then this website can also help you build an online band & meet like minded people.
This is the business model of the website. They are currently using only google adds to monetization which i guess its not good enought with the declining rate of clicks on adds.
They are entering into the entertainment industry so i guess they should use some other methods also for monetization which can be like:-
1. Putting audio advertisement before or after the song is played.
2. Making a professional audio editing software exclusively for their websit like iTunes & create a online store in which they can sell albums of the artists & share the revenue with the artists, this will also engage more artists to their website.
So go on - upload & sing to the world & who knows you could be the next music star of India.

ShoppingTadka - Virtual Retail Platform for Retailers
You must have probably seen a lot of listing websites like sulekha, yellowpages, justdial etc. Now an Indian Startup in Delhi have been opened which has actually taken listing to a new level. Normal listing websites show info like name, address, telephone number etc.
This website www.shoppingtadka.com is as of now in NCR only & gives detailed information on almost all the shops in NCR with the photograph of the shop & other details like Parking facility, Return and Exchange policies of the shop, Products & brands available, Discounts currently going on, Average discount a customer can get while bargaining etc & ofcourse other details like Name, address, Phone number, email id etc.
This website is also working hard for tie-ups with various shops in Delhi for giving discounts when there is no sale in the Market thru their sms discount coupons.
If this website evolves properly then it can be of great help to the people who don’t like to waste time in window shopping. They will just search the the product they want in their locality & shortlist 3-4 shops where the product is available with discount currently going on & they will just go & buy it.
So a good concept & a decent design.
