TISP from Google - Free ISP

Ok i couldnt believe this article, so if you dont believe me too go ahead and read this.

Google as it rocks in new technologies came up with this new feature / service / technology called Google TISP - Google Toilet ISP. (wait wait dont laugh)

For internet access you need a medium to send data, so it is either telephone line or cable tv line or why not sewage line ???? every home is connected via sewage so why not use it !!!!!!

Who on earth can up with an idea like this other than google. You still dont believe me, see this link on google site itself and the installation steps.

Whew Whew !!!!!!!!

Get rid of TV - Get Joost !

What you are seeing is a full screen snapshot of Joost TV on my laptop, you can see the channels bar on the left and the controls in the middle.

Joost has been in the news for some time now. As soon as i heard about the same i signed up for beta testing the same and guess what i got my username / password and have been beta testing Joost.

So what is joost - it is a new service basically it is TV on the internet.

Ok wats so new about it, wat is new is the way it provides tv (technically it is a new way of streaming. It is pretty good and does not consume so much band width.

There are 28 channels right now, i like "The Diddy channel" they air a lot of music videos.

There are many advantages of internet tv, you can do other work as well as watch tv, you can talk to your friends while online and watch tv, check your mail or do anything on your pc.

Also one good thing is wherever you carry your laptop you can see your tv there :)

It if free right now to beta test, i am not sure how much this service would cost. Already i have been watching an indian television called Sun TV via paid subscription and it is pretty good.

Again here is the advantage when you are away from home you still get to see your favourite channels when you want them in your bed room.

Here is a snapshot from my jhoost screen, it is pretty cool try it and let me know your comments.

Can google show alternate route too !! Wish list please :)

Official Google Blog: Stuck in traffic?

Today a great feature was added to google maps, they show the traffic congestion in major cities.
I immediately tried checking for Boston, MA and here is my snapshot.


Won't it be good if google maps can also show alternate route to avoid the congestion.

• Here congested route is shown in red and free flow shown in green,
• Can they show the blue route too that is connect all free ones :)
• I think i am asking more lol.

Great feature, google rocks :)

Did you Jott today? A useful tool for people on the move

I recently started using Jott (a great tool/site). Let me explain this with a simple scenario,

You are on the road driving your car, you want to immediately send a message to your friend or team member, you simple call a phone number (Jott # is 1-877-568-8486) and spell out to whom the message is intended for and then talk the message (like in voicemail), Jott collects your voice mail and sends it to the person via email/cell phone.

Hmmm that was simple, you can say it is a "voice to email" application, so next question is why am i so excited about it, you can say why call jott instead you can call your friend itself right, here is where it is very useful to me,

1) Most of my contacts are in india while i live in US, so i can simple call a local US number and jott a voice mail, it will transform my voice in to an audio file and send it to my team mate in india or my friend. So when you are on the road but need to send urgent msg use jott :)
2) You can leave simple reminders for yourself via voice which gets collected in your e-mail box.

The site is very well done,

• During registration they ask for email confirmation and validation,
• Followed by cell phone confirmation and validation (great),
• You can add contacts option to give email or phone #, so if your contact is in another country (say India) you can give his/her email, the voice mail is translated to audio file and mailed to his email (again it is not sent as attachment clogging your friends email inbox) they provide a link to jott where you can play it on the internet (Great job guys)
• If your friend has a cell phone # which is a US# they send the voice mail jott message to cell phone as well as audio file link to email.

So why wait go and create your jott account here,

Leaked army video about friendly fire and the power of internet

It is amazing to see the power of internet and videos. Yesterday there was an incident where two US A-10 jets mistakenly opened fire on british convoy in basra.

If this incident was to happen say a year ago, we would have come to known about it in one or two dailies thats all, we would not have the video footage or will not know about it within a day or so.

But the power of internet is amazing, as soon as this happened the video somehow got leaked and landed up in You Tube.

Only after a day it has been today there is 60,610 views in one day, can you believe it.

Here is the video,




I am sure within 2-5 days this video will be classified and removed from you tube.

So if you are lucky you can see it right now,

The entire incident is explained below,
http://www.fox12news.com/Global/story.asp?S=6048706

The power of media has increased manifold due to the use of internet and sites like you tube, google video, metacafe have literally brought the world to our laptops.

Here is a small version of the chat between the pilots,

Pilot 1 said, "I'm going to be sick."

Pilot 2 said, "ah (bleeped)."

Pilot 1 said, "Did you hear?"

Pilot 2 said, "Yeah, this sucks."

Pilot 1 said, "We're in jail, dude."

Sorry to the families of the soldiers and amazed at the power of technology.

Orkut Tube - ultimate user networking

Yes this is what is called ultimate user experience, the guys @ google really rock. Orkut is a very nice networking site, now they first integrated google talk to orkut, next step now they have brought you tube and google videos in to orkut.

Yes there is a new video section, so you can bookmark and link all your favourite videos on you tube so that your friends can also enjoy what you enjoyed, isnt that a cool idea :)

I have added my first video, a car chase :)

Bad boys bad boys whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you :)

So here is my wishlist for google:

1) Add calendar sharing to orkut, so that i can share events with my friends and have public and private google calendar events.
2) Bring in docs and spreadsheets in to orkut, so that we can share documents and excel sheets with buddies,
3) Also increase the number of album snaps or link to picasa,
4) Allow conference option in gtalk and provide for plugin development so that users and companies can add more plugins to gtalk like yahoo or other ims allow.

Where the hell is Matt ? Ask him :)

There is a cool guy called Matt, wats so great about him is, he visits a lot of countries and does a crazy dance with the important places behind him and he has composed this cool video. (again you can see it on U Tube).



Travelling has always been my interest too but never thought of doing something crazy like this. May be i should also go around and dance (i know no one would like to watch may be that is why i didn't dance ;) .

I mailed Matt and was very happy to get back his reply too. Now have a look at this great video.
