Ex - Pinstorm 'ers - Connected

Dear Ex-Pinstorm'ers and the Real Search Engine Market Stormers,

Let's get connected. This idea was floated by Venkat and I felt let me give a direction to it. We were just looking back and remembering people who were with Pinstorm during it's infancy days. And now everyone is working with almost all the agency in the online business.

Peace!!!

SEMPO India - Search Wednesday - Search 2.0


Nothing could have been better than SEMPO India Meet on 8th August, 2007. This is my first meeting and 2nd meeting held by SEMPO India /SEMPO Asia at Mindshare canteen. It has been a great session, having experienced professionals from the Agency and Search Engine Marketing Company in the chair of discussion about Search 2.0. The meeting was started by Vivek Bhargava from Communicate2 and then it was taken over by Kiran from Google India and the rest of panelist on the chair.

It has been a excellent platform for networking and sharing thoughts and ideas. But it's still a small platform and I am hoping it to grow under the shadow of SEMPO.

The conclusion of the meeting was "Even Search 2.0 or Search 3.0 comes in the market people are still happy with the traditional method of searching". Yes localisation and personalisation are important but it just matter of time when any search engine can lead or take the maximum pie of search engine business.

I wish all the luck to SEMPO India / SEMPO Asia
