Mobile Phones Heading In The Wrong Direction

I think Mobile Phones are going the direction of Instant Messaging. They have quite easily become a bloatware, I recently visited a Nokia store to change batteries on my 6610i. To my shock I salesman bamboozled with his non stop speil that was selling on features and more features. To be honest I haven’t been a big fan of convergence, to me things cannot converge unless they are fully evolved and matured. Mobile phones still use 2G technology in India and they are relatively weak battery operated instruments. The battery life are less that satisfying. Instead of making adding numerous feature of mediocre functioning I’d prefer one good cell phone thats easy to talk and send text with.

Blogging A Career? Not In India, Atleast Now!

A recent seminar of Bloggers were held in Bangalore. It was apparently a very succesful event and congratulations to the organizers. I did not participated in it, cause I wasn’t aware. Even if I would have been I would have not attended. Blogging is good and most of us do it primarily as an expression, we don’t yet need a money of out of it. I think Blogging won’t be a profession in India for the following reasons.

• What you going to Blog about? What Michael Arrington or Om Malik wrote, Whose going to read that.
• You can express yourself, but you’d never be able to build a traffic that can lure ads from regular big players sites.
• IT infratructure wise we are not even in the Top 100 countries.
• Most Indians still use the for personal purposes, excluding looking for nude pictures women.
• E-mail, Cricket Forum, Pics of Cars, Chatting what else is there to internet?

It’s not a bad thing that we blog, but I think making it a profession in India is taking it a bit too far.
