The Day Monster Took Over IndiaTimes

Monster(My Workplace) enhanced the Job Search Engine and we wanted to make a lot of noise about it.

So we advertised over the Internet across all major publishers. It was a major learning curve for me and among the lessons I learnt:

Major Goof Ups Happen even at the highest level Like banners not showing where they should:






Whose doin the QC once again. Man 'o man 'o man!

Anyways, try out the new search Here

Google Goes Namaste India!

What would the two recently opened sales Offices in Delhi and Mumbai crib about having first up?

Geo-targeting In India According to cities and states.

Well guess what, you want it you get it. Sa-Weet!

Here’s a Screen Shot of the changes:



Running a Google AdWords campaigns targeting India can now “break that targeting down to regions including Andaman and Nicobar Islands AN, Andhra Pradesh AP, Arunachal Pradesh AR, Assam AS, Bihar BR, Chandigarh CH, Chhattisgarh CT, Dadar and Nagar Haveli DN, Daman and Diu DD, Delhi DL, Goa GA, Gujarat GJ, Haryana HR, Himachal Pradesh HP, Jammu and Kashmir JK, Jharkhand JH, Karnataka KA, Kerala KL, Lakshadweep LD, Madhya Pradesh MP, Maharashtra MH, Manipur MN, Meghalaya ML, Mizoram MZ, Nagaland NL, Orissa OR, Pondicherry PY, Punjab PB, Rajasthan RJ, Sikkim SK, Tamil Nadu TN, Tripura TR, Uttar Pradesh UP, Uttaranchal UL, and West Bengal WB.”

This is a HUGE plus for India Based Adwords targeting and should give a boost for the main industries including Travel and Tourism and Even “Jobs Industry” with more localization available.

Is Google going to take Over the world?

I talked about this a long time back here .

Now a leading publication online has come out with an article titled : Can Google Take Over the World?

It talks about how G is growing and the stock is set to go sky high....etc.

Anyways what’s of interest is this article that caught my eye: Rumors Mount over Google's Internet Plan.

It talks about how Google is planning to have its own Internet.

a) They are buying tons of dark fibre
b) Buyout of Telecom Equipment
c) Acquiring Shipping containers to develop processing grids-- "The idea is to plant one of these puppies anywhere Google owns access to fiber, basically turning the entire Internet into a giant processing and storage grid"
d) Developing Cheaper ways to get online(Mountainveiw has Free Wireless N/W). Under $100 PC's are almost here.

But these may just be rumors. After all Google is the biggest source of rumors. Remember Sun Google partnership on how Open Office would be MS Office Killer. All we got was a Google toolbar with a JVM.

Or how a new operating system turned out to be a not so sharp Google pack.

I Love This Hype. It's so addictive reading all these rumors !

The next phase of Adwords

After acquiring Radio Channels, I wonder where else will we see Adwords?

These are taken from various sources:


Sandwich Man

Zeppelin


EPL(Sorry Guys)

This would be a riot ;)

I am Travelling...

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things can not be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
