"A 30 year old IIT grad Avinash Agarwal not only got around Rs 10 Lakh funding for his startup RouteGuru through TechTribe(after he posted the idea on TechTribe) but he also gets guidance from some of the well established professionals from the industry."

The Google decision may be unusual for the company, but it’s a smart option at this point in India. Google has its own R&D team in India to offer local systems for the emerging market, but their success depends upon how rapidly and effectively they are adopted.
The reality is that India’s Internet market is not yet mature, with only 40 million users going online by the end of 2006, according to the Internet and Mobile Association of India.Seedfund managing partners Mr. Gandhi and Bharati Jacob have run Infinity Ventures, a profitable early-stage fund when the term was not fashionable in India. Another partner, Mahesh Murthy, is a successful entrepreneur and venture
capitalist.
“At the seed stage, teams with big ideas need less money and more mentoring from people who have an entrepreneurial background,” Mr. Murthy said when the fund launched just two months ago. Given the names who have invested in his fund, he seems to be on the right track.
Mobile phone subscribers now number 150 million, but average revenue per user is still low at about $5 per month. Startups targeting either market are still not quite as mature as the companies in which Google typically invests.

Excellent User interface(thank God..no Ads are there on the site):
CampusChai has a very simple interface and easy to find important things on the site.Also currently,the site does not have any Ads which makes things simple.They dont even have Google Ads on the site.This makes me wonder what could be the revenue model of CampusChai?Any thoughts?

Ever since,I migrated from the old blogger to the new one , there has been lots of problems.First it was static HTML code that was generated and than some crazy alignment problems.And yes,I did find some problems in Blogger and I have reported them to "Blogger Support Group".
But one thing which I was missing(in Blogger from the beginning) is the "Tags" section which is available in Wordpress.What is the advantage of having Tags? Having "Tags" makes your post grouped under a particular group which helps targetting a particular genre of readers.
But,when I migrated to new blogger,there were "Tags" available but they were called as "Labels" in Blogger.This has raised some confusions in the Blogosphere.
On googling for "Tags in Blogger", I came across a blog where this debate is going on-"Labels or Tags" ie "Has Google done the right thing in calling Tags as Labels in Blogger"
A small excerpt from the blog
Tags are one of the defining elements of Web 2.0. When Google started gmail,it used the term label instead of the term tag. When Google developed the new version of Blogger, it also again used the term labels instead of tags.

So, now it not only easy to see the creativity of others but also get creative.This would definitely help lots of young creative minds in filing patents.

''Rather than getting worried about the outsourcing , whole program could be replaced by a permanent green card system(in the US) that would draw skilled workers into a more positive , long term relationship with the American culture - and build a better economic future for all of us.Hence AMERICA'S CHALLENGE TODAY IS TALENT INSOURCING."
