I just finished reading Dork by Sidhin Vadukut, The First thing that Comes to my mind is "Robin, You Bastard . You did it!!!"


The Dork is about a young MBA Graduate who joins up with a multinational Management consulting firm, and how he struggles to survive the corporate world just to end up as a legend in the business consulting world. And how Robin, the protagonist manages to woo his long time love interest 'Gauri'.
It would be unfair to call just another a romantic comedy nor a complete office cult fiction, But it surely tells you some things you really don't want to try it in your office ;)

I liked the way the story was narrated ,as an extract from the Journal of Robin Einstein Varghese in  ,which the author  found in the appartment that he just moved into, in a compact disk abondoned along with five CDS of pornos.

Sidhin has managed to maintain the what-is-on-the-next-page  sensation thought the book without losing it's charm and Humor that makes it a good read!!!

In Simple words: It's way better than Chethan Bhagath!

As they say, Its better late than Never!

Google had caught up with the status update concept of-late, when  Face book and Twitter has already acquired the  market share 40% and 48% respectively. It seems that google never considered the idea to be potential enough unless they found the great success of Twitter.
In spite of it's late release I have been hearing some great reviews from the users about buzz.

As far as I am concerned the Idea of One-Id-For-All is a great concept, and there still would be people interested in it, thinking about the convenience of remembering 3-10 passwords for emails and social networking sites all togethe.

There are a few  good things that I found with the Buzz....


1. One is that You dont have a 140 Character constrain:
I tweet a lot but didn't actually liked the way twitter refrained me to enter more than 140 characters in a single message...But Buzz in cool, you can can enter how much you want without shortening and screwing my message

2- You can integrate sites like twitter, picassa etc using Buzz, So that whenever I tweet , it is listed in the Buzz too, my every update in the sites linked to it is shown to my followers..

3- My blogspots: The feeds from my blog is pulled into buzz , now this is something similar to the previous point, but I wanted to give this emphasis, because I found this a very helpful tool to market my blog, each time I post something new, It's shown to my followers *Un-tampered*  and I have found my hits on the blog Increasing after the buzz-Blogger integration.


4- It's easy:  Another best thing about Buzz is that It's simple: Some of my friends still don't tweet because they cannot understand 'How To use Twitter' [Next time you I will get you a link for twitter for Dummies , I promise :P] but Buzz is simply 'Simple' that My grandma can go Buzzing !!!

5- Following friends: You can follow anyone in your contacts who has a buzz, that's cool!!! See the benefit of  One-id-For-All !!


One thing I would like to see is in Buzz is; A two way data transfer to twitter [A Twitter API]- so that I can sit back in the office, and tweet through the Buzz;
This way I dont get my ass whipped by My Manager or Network guy :p!

[P.S: If my Manager is reading this post :Please excuse my french, I didnt mean you, I just meant -generally!!!]
