Bigadda.com is an Indian Youth Networking Site. But it is different from others.

Bigadda is all set to target the internet savvy generation of India. The generation that has just entered professional sphere or still in college, university and school is very much familiar with internet, unlike their predecessors.

This generation is very much likely to access internet on mobile phone. And that’s why Bigadda is successful! They are helping people stay connected through mobile 24×7.

Three ways to connect Bigadda through Mobile:

  • Access Bigadda via SMS
  • MobileAdda with lots of interactivity including options to send Free SMS

It is true that with internet accessibility on mobile, anybody can do these things with other social networking platforms like orkut, twitter etc. Then how Bigadda is different?

Google Chrome – The Less Discussed Yet Powerful Side

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 | India, Internet with No Comments »

Google Chrome has been released recently and the whole world is talking about it. Quite natural! A browser from the internet giant that has revolutionized internet usage MUST be discussed more than anything else. 

People involved in Search Engine Optimization and Online Marketing smell something fishy with Google Chrome as they suspect Google would try to track black hat SEO techniques with this browser. The same way people blamed Google toolbar! 

However, I do not intent to break out a debate on this topic, neither do I have any plan to discuss the features of Google Chrome – lots of discussions are going on about features and facilities of Google Chrome around. Just run a search and you would be flooded with tons of pages! 

Today, I would like to highlight a different point: the day Google released this browser; they added a link just below the search buttons on the Google Search Engine home page. This was done for all country-specific domains like google.co.in, google.co.uk, google.com etc. 

And the result is quite predictable. Millions of people came to know about this new product over the night! The buzz began to flow; and Google reached to people who did not follow their blogs or visit tech news websites and forums easily. 

That’s the power of product development. If you have one successful project, you can make hundreds more! 

With that said, W3Guru India offers a unique tip: all the web development, designing and SEO companies in India should concentrate on product development for local audience. This would help them in three ways: 

  1. They need not depend on outsourced projects; economic problem of other countries won’t hit them hard.
  2. They would be able to establish their identity once a product is successful.
  3. Indians are getting into Internet lately. Developing a useful website for them would help you serve your country directly. Satisfaction!

 So think, innovate and create new products. You can do it. If you stuck at any point, contact us. We would be happy to work with you.

Orkut members are likely to be welcomed with a “Happy Diwali” message along with a small Icon of Candle on their Orkut Home Page.

Click over the Candle Icon and theme of the page would change. A colorful and bright profile is waiting for all Orkut members!

A second click on the Candle Icon takes members back to the traditional view. Definitely a nice way to celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Light. Though originated in India, Diwali is now an international festival and is observed in all over the world. W3Guru India wishes Happy Diwali to all its readers and supporters.
