Does IndyChai.com Have The Right Blend ?

Indychai.com, the name can be a touch misleading but it alludes to the historically pivotal role chai or tea has played in discussions in India and around the world. Indychai.com is technically a hyper aggregated web 2.0 portal. But fancy terminology apart, in the vernacular tongue it can be described as a one stop for all the latest news stories as they unfold. It aggregates all the news stories from many sources. The news is based on third party websites and this website just gives you the link to it. This saves you the travails of visiting various news sources on the internet. The hard part is not actually visiting these websites but actually finding interesting news items that at times seems to be hidden on purpose. You can find all the big and small stories on Indiachai.com with relative ease on a single web page. The website is still in beta but does provide a glimpse of India Hyper Agreegated!

The stories are all listed quite immaculately on a single web page. There are news stories from some of the biggest sources in India. The list includes the likes of NDTV, Times of India and DNA etc. The news is segregated into six broad categories like news, sports, entertainment, tech, good life and entrepreneur. Within these categories a further sub-division is made. For instance under the news category there are the sub news categories like general, business and indyblogs. Though the divison seems to evade logic.

But the ether of the website is the news, which is in sync with the latest happenings. The one feature that is worth a toast of tea is the fact that on moving the cursor on the story link there pops up a laconic description of the news story. This allows the user to decide if he is actually interested in reading the article or not. On the whole it is a nice site aimed at simplifying the entire process of information and content scouting on the web.

Youtube's Indian Sibling

This is a review of a newly launched video sharing website, does that ring a few bells in your mind. Think of video sharing and Youtube springs to mind, both of them can be used interchangeably. But India has been devoid of a video sharing website that caters to India and is India centric. Though there are no territorial barriers on the website and one is not asked to produce their passport but India being such a culturally disparate country that separates it from the entire world. The cuisine, clothing, language and culture all seem to change with every passing mile at a head swirling pace. Take for instance the Bollywood movies, which feature the song and dance routines or almost rituals, are per se distinct from movies elsewhere on planet earth. This probably warrants a video sharing service for Indians and their proclivities. Aapka.com seems to fill the empty void. it is extremely easy to upload, share or watch a video. It is no way a poor man's Youtube, but can stand it's ground against the competition. There is a superfluity of bollywood and Indian Tv videos, but some of them are worth a glance. To culminate, the layout and site design is easy on the eyes.

Does The Sri Lankan Terror Group LTTE Possess Stealth Planes ?

It has been common knowledge that LTTE has had air crafts and an airstrip in the Tamil heartland in the north of Sri Lanka. But there air attack that saw two Czech made propeller driven air crafts flying 600 km, from Waani to Colombo, and bombing an air base without the myriad of Radars raising the slightest of whispers of alarm. The incident has flummoxed and astounded both India and Sri Lanka. Now this could either be down to the uselessness of the radars or LTTE possessing some kind of stealth technology, maybe stealth paint. It looks highly improbable but it's a strange world after all.

How Does A Virtual Credit Card Weigh Over A Normal One

If you have read my previous post about virtual credit cards then you would have a fair idea as to how to obtain a VCC. If you have not then let me tell you such a facility is only available at select banks. You can create a VCC, if such a service is made available to you by your bank, from your existing debit or credit card. You can use this VCC for online shopping as this card exposes your hard earned money to a minimal risk. This is due to the fact that since the card is a virtual card there is no imminent risk of it getting stolen and subsequently being misused. But if you are thinking of hoodwinking the authorities with VCC's then be informed that all transactions will show on your credit report. If you want to know a little more about credit cards and bad credit loans then click here. As you would require a hard credit card to create it's virtual cousin your credit card will be billed for it. The limit of the VCC can be specified by you but they are normally valid for a fixed period, usually up to 48 hours. They offer a secure way of shopping online as even if someone slyly pries on your card details, he won't be able to misuse it due to the ephemerality of the card.
