SEMPO India - Search Wednesday - Search 2.0

Blog Manager — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 20:03:00 +0000

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

Google Analytics - A New Avatar!

Blog Manager — Wed, 09 May 2007 02:31:00 +0000

Google Analytics (GA) has made most of its predecessor i.e Urchin. It has increased lots of service specific features that will be useful to any agency or company.

For example: Manage Email Download Schedules of the analytics report in
.PDF(Portable Document File),
CSV(Comma Seperated Variables - MS Excel Friendly),
XML(Extensible Markup Language) and
TSV(Tab Seperated Variables)

The new dashboard very much looks like a Website Analyser Dashboard. No need to go anywhere to find the "Bottom Lines" of the campaign.

The traffic source data is the key to measure the campaign traffic performance across all channels. Google Analytics presentation of analyzed data is much better and an original interface.

But it has to still work hard to get to the competition level of ClickTracks and Omniture.

Web 2.0 - Agency 2.0 - Design 2.0

Blog Manager — Sat, 21 Apr 2007 15:59:00 +0000

Here is a very nice slide that I would like to share. It's talks very strongly about Web 2.0 - Agency 2.0 - Design 2.0. It also presents abouts how a conventional thought process is changing to customer driven marketing solutions. I see we move ahead to Web 3.0 then web 2.0 as it has been predicted that it will be a failure.

Google has already jumped to Web 3.0 without entering Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. You should see this tube to know more!

Does this impress you or scare you? Do comment? Happy Blogging!

Merry Christmas To You and All!!!

Mrigaank was on "Mission Tirupathi" - For tonsure

Mrigaank at Kalyan Railway Station.

We boarded from Kalyan on Mumbai - Chennai Express on 2nd December, 2006.

It was first time Mahadevan (nick name: maha - my brother) was visiting Tirupathi after 32 years. Mrigaank and Maha had tonsure on 4th December night. It was really tough to control Mrigaank during the tonsure. But we made it well.

It is auspicious to give away (offer) your hair to the Lord Tirupathi Balaji.

We reached Tirupathi on 3rd December, 2006.

Look at the some of the pics taken at night of 3rd December, 2006.

Arjun's First Birthday

Blog Manager — Sat, 09 Dec 2006 12:56:00 +0000

The day was 25th November, 2006. Another birthday party but this time it was of my best friend (ex-neighbour + my super senior + my chess opponent) Nelliperambil Santosh's 2nd son ARJUN...

We lived more than 15 years at same place and I share most of the best time of our childhood. I still remember the day when I was bleeding from my forehead because I banged my self with Santosh's strong canine tooth...

We all were missing Shailesh (Santosh's younger Brother) who is out for work on the cruise.

Santosh is sitting with Aryan (Santosh's elder son) and Mrigaank on his lap and ARJUN in his mother's arms.

Take care friend!!!

Mrigaank's First Birthday!

Blog Manager — Sun, 26 Nov 2006 05:53:00 +0000

One of the best day of my life 24th November, 2006

It was my only nephew "MRIGAANK" 1st Birthday.

It was held at Sakinaka "Chakra".

Guess what we were not expecting 100 people and there were more than 150 people who turned up that day. My brother has a very big band of friends. It begins with his childhood friends (langotia yaar - hindi slang), his college friends, his old office colleagues, his business clients, building friends and more.

It was a great day for everyone. we had booked the lounge till 11.30pm but it we all left at 1.30am. There were game shows for the kids, Magic shows, Juggling, bar for mens, gossip centre for the women (kidding), welcome stage and the dance floor.

Everybody complaint that I did not paid any heed to them as I was on the dance floor for more than 3 hrs. My nephew's favorite humming words are "Bale Bale Bale" and Ganpati Bappa Maurya. And even he enjoyed the party till 1.30am with dancing on most of the Punjabi Tunes.

Our complete family was present with best of friends and friends of friends were there. It was a great evening and had many memoriable moment. They were CEO of few companies (childhood friends) who never stay more than 30 minutes even they were found in the party till the end.

It was really Soophberp!!!!

A day in Bangalore

Blog Manager — Sun, 26 Nov 2006 05:19:00 +0000

I left for the flight early morning at 6.10am on 22.11.06. The flight was at 7.20am - GoAir Bombay - Bangalore. I was the last person to board the flight and sat in a comfortable window seat. Landed Bangalore at 8.45am.

I thought the day will be hectic with 4-5 meetings lined up.

I reached near M.G. Road for my first meeting.
What do you think the meeting was for? If you know me well, you will have the answer.

My second meeting was at one of the Technology Giant in the Indian Economy. The meeting was very interesting. The third was suppose to be at another Technology Gaint but it was postpone and all the discussion happened over the phone. I interacted with couple of more companies. I made sure that I don't let my friends down so I did spend some time with them. I also did a small charity.

I was tired by the end of day. I took an auto from Garuda Mall to the Airport. My flight departure time was at 7.05pm - Bangalore - Bombay.

It was a great day and things were happening in a brisk pace with everything organized for the day.

Today is the day when I decided to do different from other people.... I guess thats what we try to do it everyday. But at the end of the day we understand that what we think different is already a part of someone's life.

But I still decided to do different.

Can I be different?

Can I make it?

Will people connect to me?

Here is the collage that inspires me all the time.

Can we discover?
