Twitter seems like a great tool

If you have a look at the top of the blog there is a What am I doing right now? which shows you what I am doing right now. Not that you would be interested in knowing what I am doing but if you have a group of friends you want to stay in touch with using IM, SMS or just the web its the perfect tool to do that. To update the message on top I can use my IM (GTalk, Yahoo!, MSN or AOL), SMS or the website to update in realtime what I am doing right now. So the messages you see on top are live. I am not really sure till when I will keep updating it, but it sure does look like a really cool concept. If I was still in college I would have loved to stay in touch with my friends using it. The real cool part is that incase you are not online you can still get the updates using SMS. So if you like to be updated about anything you can follow news about it using twitter. I am just waiting for digg to have a twitter account and I can get the latest promoted digg news using twitter.

Let me first list down all the possible platforms and then list down the pros and cons that I feel are associated with each platform. Java ME (The platform formally known as J2ME) Windows Mobile Linux Palm Brew Symbian Blackberry iPhone iPhone Let me start with iPhone the darling of the media and blogger's till about a fortnight. I had real expectations from iPhone as a platform but the way its been going so far I would never bother developing for it. Officially there is no SDK with which one can build applications. What ever tools the community had built have been rendered useless with the iPhone 1.1.1 software upgrade . The community might be able to hack a version for 1.1.1 but without any support from almighty apple its just a cat and mouse game. With every minor release the applications

Airtel 16Mbps for Impatient Ones

This advert can be the summed as the best in terms of making fun of the impatient ones. The new Airtel broadband is 16 Mbps but with a slight hitch. At Rs. 2999/- with a Data Transfer Limit of just 20 GB. Just listening to a few hours of music videos on Youtube should be enough to exhaust the limit in no time. Thinking of downloading torrents is something one should not even think about. Not sure who Airtel is targeting with this plan. If you bought this plan do leave a comment.
