Optimize your site for the Google TV

Look here kids,uncle #google z here with all new #googletv ! Now,that’s going to be the next big talk in the neighborhood ! Now,what’s going to be for the other end,i.e for website owners & techies who been wondering how to get there !

How would you like the idea of seeing your website and navigate to it on TV?

The Google TV is available abroad and hopefully soon in India.we can say that it begins a new era in TV optimization will make his appearance. How we will run our site sometimes small and sometimes large TV screens will be the main reason for redesign.

The Google of TV (currently only from Sony) is a preinstalled browser that can display web pages exactly as depicted on our pc.The main difference is that the navigation will be done remotely via a keyboard with integrated pointing device , and thus the display will be a few meters from the user rather than a cm in force today.

As you can see the text of Web pages should be large enough to be read from a distance as that between a standard room with TV.

Social Networking is changing the world,for the good !

There are some 300 social networking sites that are born everyday !! That’s pretty weird stats i know ! But a lot of people have been trying out to bring about a new,everyone wants to have another “facebook” in their kitty and it’s not a surprise seeing the success of Social Networking sites(illustration).

So let’s try to understand what’s the big thing in social networking ? why & how did Twitter & Facebook get to the top even when there was h5,Orkut,Myspace which are now nearing its extinct ? The answer is simply the awesomeness in which both Facebook & Twitter has integrated a user into their system.

Facebook & Twitter both are based on the same lines but we seen Facebook going full aggressive about making a user feel his influence in his social network, his reach directly proportional to the number of friends he have and doing all that it takes to pamper a user that “this is it”. A virtual cocoon that it builds are both a mix of reality & virtual which has its own ambiguity a.k.a being influential in facebook has its way of fame but in reality very less of this “fame” is accounted.(via Andrine Mendez Blog)

So now,the idea is simple…Twitter a Free SMS service that’s online & Facebook is the Page3 of everyone’s Life ! BUt in both these cases one thing is the key–User Engagement & Conversation and this is where the way ahead is ! This is what,even we at Indiavibes is working at.

“Free Media” to give back power to where it belongs,to “the people”

The self proclaimed Fourth Estate will very soon collapse and the trends have been reflected in developed nations where these so called “Fourth Estate” has shown a lot of decline. The way news or entertainment is circulates has changed a lot ! People don’t any more believe in advertisements, and the big brands have already felt the pinch that they also have reduced spending in traditional mediums.

Internet has changed the way people are engaged,it has made the world smaller,it has bring about a unity and people are no more in darkness of the biased “Fourth Estate” ! They have found a new way to engage and make their point,a new way to spread news ! the big impact that”Wikileaks” made is itself an example !

Now,at Indiavibes we wanted to create this “Free Media” where people could share what they want. a platform where the real stars is the user,where there is interactions & collective information fed and not statements from one point. And that’s what we are working on ! We want to bring in the change and that’s sure thing to happen ! Our users will soon have uploading capabilities and soon the content will be of user driven genre. After all ,”Content is the King”

Indiavibes will represent India’s Vibes:And it begins @ Singapore

When we launched on 01/01/11 , we promised that Indiavibes will represent India globally ! And, by the grace of God it’s already happening !
We have had a very humble beginning and everyday from day 1,we try to outbeat in whatever we do ! Our present contents are simply the first phase of the contents that are to come and even when before we have shown the best of us to the world we already got partnered by two firms in US,one Potmax LLC ,the association was all over the internet(Click here for details),the second one was with IPTV USA,a to be launched IPTV service in US who wanted to buy our content ! the official announcement will be coming in sometime soon !

Now,while all such inquiries come in on a daily basis from different parts of the world,something really cool happened the last week when we got invites to Speak for a International Conference at Singapore-”Digital Matters” ! They were keen on listening to India’s first web TV and our view on Digital Entertainment & the way ahead !

We couldn’t ask for more now,could we ! But more hot news coming up in this space ! Indiavibes evolves everyday,and the centric point for us is “The User” and we are exploring all possibilities of pampering our viewers. User generated Content is the future of Entertainment and we want to be platform that promotes new talents in these lines ! a lot of thinking and ideation has been done in making Indiavibes,the single platform of entertainment with its users as its everything !

Internet Economics of India’s “Aam Admi”

When we launched India’s first Web Tv everyone looked at us just another content providers or any normal channels that otherwise existed in the system.The pre-assumptive picture of people glued to their Television set’s are still the only obvious thing for everyone.But all that will change very soon,3-G roll out along with 4-G roll out has begun in Tier 1 cities and that’s gonna change the game totally ! What’s the deal about them ? Well prior to all these tech,the illustration shows the way Indian’s use social Media or Internet. Now the question is,what about “Aam Aadmi” ?? take a check around the market and check the prices of a 3-G enabled phone that supports dual sims,video calling all those gizmo stuffed piece ? a piece of tech that was only available to niche class is now “Aam Aadmi” stuff ! Yes ! a 3-G phone with all fun features is available at Rs.4000 ! So now tell us,if you haven’t started feeling the pinch !
If that’s not enough dig this !
65% of Indian youth access Internet through mobile and majority of these are from Rural India and within 1 year one in every five world’s youth population will be India !
And again what’s the big deal you ask me ?
Now we know more a matter of fact that we share videos,in which 65%are amateur videos ! Now think this,we love to see content from people like us ! And that’s where the future lies ! “User Generated Content”—Something that’s been at the Heart of Indiavibes !
