2007-10-01 08:31:00 The online and mobile advertising is growing very rapidly and those individual specialist agencies which have been evangelists for this space for quite long now might just see takeover interests from bigger media companies. And i guess its about time larger media firms started taking the online and mobile space seriously and reconfirming this trend the Paris-based Publicis Groupe which recently acquired Delhi-based Capital advertising is now on the lookout for a digital agency.Publicis Worldwide COO Richard Pinder was in India last week and he had this to say, “Our next acquisition has to be in the digital space since India is among the top 10 markets.” There is no word on which agencies are in the run to be acquired. I wouldn't want to speculate too much myself but a list of independent digital agencies (on top of my mind) are as follows : Interactive Avenues which was formed after senior management left Mediaturf was recently funded by Sequoia giving it some money mus...

It very cool no doubt about that. Allowing users to connect with their local heroes or places is surely a way to attract the Indian Janta. Anyone can create an account. Just log on to coolhotmail.com and create an id for urself. We had earlier done an article on the similar service. Is it a desperate attempt by Microsoft not to loose their users to Google or yahoo.

ibibo offering free calls for their users
2007-09-27 13:24:00 Ibibo has launched a mobile service for their users where users on ibibo can speak to each other over their cell phones absolutely free. (source - pluggd.in)Users can only make these free calls only within India (which is still great). With all the speculation revolving privacy issues on social networks, ibibo’s mobile service does not display the caller or the recipients number to any of the parties thus keeping privacy intact. Users also have an option to allow users only form their friends list and not outside. This service is not a new service. Similar services have always been there. Like for e.g. Jaxtr it allows users to communicate (even internationally) with each other without disclosing number details of any party.What I really appreciate is that ibibo has taken an existing service and have leveraged it for their social network by trying to connect people all over. I am sure it will be well appreciated by the users of ibibo. Now where it comes to actual usage, I did ... More About: Free , Calls , Erin

2007-09-27 09:57:00 What is Reffster?Reffster is a job referral website where users can refer their friends/colleagues for job openings that are available on Reffster.com How does it work –The process sounds very simple. Here is the diagram to explain the process. I am sure the above picture must have made It clear. Just sign up and refer a friend and get paid for it. To give some more details of the website – Users can earn from Rs10,000 per referral to about Rs2,50,000 per referral (its not a spelling error. It is 2,50,000). But as always there is a catch.
