Google planning to add some extra features in their Google Phone service. For this reason Google has acquired mobile social network Zingku.
Google say “It is true that we acquired certain assets and technology of Zingku. We believe these assets can help build products and features that will benefit our users, advertisers and publishers.”

Here’s what Zingku does, according to their about page:

Our service is designed from the mobile phone, outward, allowing you to create and exchange things of interest ranging from invitations to “mobile flyers” with friends in a trusted manner. On the mobile phone, Zingku uses standard text messaging and picture messaging features that come with every phone. On the web, our service uses your standard web browser and instant messenger. There is nothing to install.

Some of Zingku’s features:-

* Store & fetch mobile photos and txt reminders with alarms on your companion mobile web site.

* Share mobile photos and posts with friends and friends-of-friends with txt msg’ing, instant messenger, & web.

* Gather a big crowd & their friends with txt messaging, IM, and email, all at once!

* Take an instant poll among friends, all with txt messaging. “Hey what should we do ? 1. Movie 2. Dan’s party”

* Your own mobile cards that people fetch by txt’ing a magic code. Make as many as you want & link them together.

* Fetch postings from any blog or any syndicated feed (RSS, Atom) to your mobile phone via txt message.

After checking their features I understand that Zingku is a Mobile Social Network. They offer polls, RSS to SMS converters, mobile photo sharing and more.

Still now this service is limited for US users only and until Zingku included into Google server, they have stopped new account creation.

Social networking sites have gained huge popularity recently. Some of these Social Networking sites let users save bookmark, some allow to share links and stories, some of them provide a platform to interact at personal level whereas some networking sites help to grow professional circumference of individuals.

How these sites can help promote business?

The advantage with these sites is, it is easy to understand the preferences of users. The websites bookmarked by the users reflect their taste and preferences. Once the nature, choices and preferences of a person are known, it is easy to get some business from the particular subject. The theory is somehow similar to Google AdSense program. It displays ads based on the theme of the page; hence chances of clicking are higher.

This time it’s Microsoft who is going to grab the opportunity! Microsoft will be displaying ads on Digg.com for next 3 years and it has been started from this past July. People have started to realize that Networks are the best places to sell ads in the era of Web 2.0. Long live Networks.

Hutch in India is now ‘Vodafone’! The new commercial is going to be circulated all over the country in different channels. The visual campaign is expected to cross Rs. 300 crore (3000 million). 400,000 recharge coupon outlets, thousands of billboards and 10,000s of shop signs are also to be replaced soon.

Hopefully there will be some banner ads beside the streets and roads; similar like what India experienced during the transition of UTI Bank to Axis Bank. It seems that the world trade is undergoing a huge bang! Biggies are acquiring new companies randomly. It won’t be bad if a separate category is created for Acquisitions in w3guru-india!

Mashable covered the news back in January this year! The rumor started spreading in November 2006! However, Mashable confirmed the acquisition of MyBlogLog by Yahoo! for $10 million.

However, it is not secret any more. MyBlogLog is now displaying the Yahoo! tag and members are requested to log in with Yahoo! id. Google took a hold on Blogger and then bought FeedBurner to penetrate in the blogging world. Yahoo! purchased MyBlogLog. It seems Search Engines are giving a lot of importance to Blogs. It won’t be surprising if in future traditional websites vanish and Blogs cover the whole websphere!

The concept of business has changed completely. Previously we couldn’t think a business without land and handsome amount of money as capital. But now thanks to internet we don’t need land and huge amount of money to start a business. What you need is some basic knowledge about internet and website maintenance with small fund. Whatever type of business you are in, you need to have its online presence to be successful and to be far ahead from your competitors.

We all know that a successful business needs advertisement. Here comes the importance of having a website. Your website can be the media of your business’s online advertisement. Your business product or services can be marketed by your website. You will surely have competitors here also and to stay ahead from them you must develop your website. Now the obvious question comes that how you can develop your website and actually what is the actual meaning of website development. Website development means presentable view of your website which is visitors friendly. But the development is not only the presentation; it needs lots of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) work as well. SEO is the ultimate success of any online business. That’s why you need to take this part very seriously.

Normally a person search for any specific product or service in the Search Engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL etc. He gets thousands of websites as result of the search. Your target should be to come first among those thousand of results. By optimizing Search Engines you can come first and earn huge amount of profit from your business. So you must understand the basics of SEO to make your business successful. If you don’t have much time to do SEO for your website then you can obviously hire a good SEO company to do SEO for your website.

So take Search Engine Optimization (SEO) very seriously and implement it properly to make a successful online business.

After releasing the Premier Edition of Google Apps and coupling with Capgemini, Google has released an alternative of Microsoft PowerPoint. Google Docs now have the option to upload Presentations along with Word Processor and Spreadsheet.

Since Google has targeted the corporate world mostly with the Apps, an option to create Slide Show or Presentation would definitely attract more users. Presentation is an important part of business reporting and analysis. So it is obviously another good move from Google.

Added to that Google Presentations can be embedded to websites! Matt Cutts has mentioned about the possibility of embedding Presentations in Website using iFrame, though Matt Cutts is not sure about the ’security implications’.

It’s users who will judge it!
