I watched this movie today. And I loved it!! Although this review says “…it’s a mediocre movie…”. I cant help but say it again that I loved it!

posts with photos later…

2007 was a interesting year(for internet and other things too :). But I will be talking about internet here :). While in 2005-06, many of the new startups were founded, the deadpool started populating a bit later on. There were many interesting concepts experimented with. 2.0 was attached to many things and people found more and more ways to spend their time on internet. But coming back to 2007, Google got good and bad publicity. Digg continued to grow its user base even though the comment system and deletion of entries the created a huge fuss.

We saw loads of office apps being released for web from google, zoho and others. Social networking took a big shape with facebook and the Google’s OpenSocial . Microsoft released silverlight and adobe attacked with AIR. But both the technologies have yet to see some serious use. (What is next year for??)

The mobile phone (add media and internet to it) market saw two bigshots jumping in with iphone and Android.  There were otherbig things happening but I need to stop writing right now as I am headed to Las Vegas for the new year…

But what to expect next year?  Well… Wait for the phones with Android! Wait for how EU responds to google and doubleclick merger. Wait for companies to respond to iPhone. Wait for the interesting news from me :D!

Oh today was a fine day!

I need to note down three things about cleaning so here they are :

1. Cleaning your home gives you immense pleasure. Do it once in a while :)
2. Do not do it more then once a month or else the pleasure would not have more value than the work put in.
3. Cleaning the whole room requires a little bit effort more than what is required to just clean your part but the results are way better ;)

So stop reading this right now and go clean your room! till then I’ll find a topic to write on…

Hello there!

I am moving over to a place which I think is better… Obviously my blog goes along with me. Head over to http://jodhpuriguy.com for the latest updates and new content.

Oh! I just meant it in the technical sense :). I was reading a blog and while reading it, I pondered over various things. The first thing that I thought of was “Why just Audio-Visual?”. Surely, the kind of meta-data talked about in the post is relevant only to audio, images and videos. But is that the limit? Is it not relevant to text - the form in which we have most of our data? I, for one can list things like when, where, by whom and in which meaning that can be associated to text(knol). The knol can be take from internet, from a book, or from notes. Surely that can help us find a lot about its content. Given the time-period when a person came to know about the knol, We can know about the complexity of the content(is it something deep or just introductory). Many of us have heard of semantic <insert keyword here> so does using that information to index also help? I think it does. In fact, We had done something very similar in last year’s Imagine cup with recog.

Recog uses the meta data, not only from text but also from audios and images too, to index them. It uses semantic indexing along with use of other meta-data to present the content to user. This meta data and the way to organize knowledge surely does spice up the things and opens up many possibilities for future.

Sounds interesting? It is and surely we are going to see some great innovations in this field soon (i hope :) )
