Today Google Threat CHINA tomorrow Can be You ?


Google China fight is going hotter day by day and no one ready to move back. If Google say he is the world largest search company than China is among the world largest user for same and not only to increase in Information Technology we all know from McDonald toys to your Lovable mobiles, electronics and lot more are given by China Itself. They are the world largest manufactures for our day to day use products.

"Google entered China by promising to follow the rule of the land, and it censored the search results to abide it. But when hackers tried to hack the Gmail accounts of human rights activist from inside China, Google lost its cool. They went ahead and decided to take on Chinese government head-on"

If Google ready to censored the search result way back when they are in need to catch china market, Now why Google not ready to do the same.Just because of some hackers ? How can a hacker problem will be combined with search result ?

See what Yahoo Japan head feels about Google. "Google takes law in their hands and most of their success has come from such steps. He said that in an interview not related to Google-China conflict"

In October 2009 we had discussed about "Google’s contribution to International politics" where Google mapsite user of China saw Arunachal Pradesh as a part of China and Google India user saw the same as part of India. Arunachal Pradesh has been and will always be a part of India.

Google China conflict will be definitely a Bonus to India, we are happy today about the fact and most favor Google over China reason being India is a democratic country where freedom and rights are defined by the democratic principles.

Today there is hardly any signs of Google doing wrong with Indian Government but who will give assurence for tomorrow. Google and facebook are so big in India that its not easy for Government to handle the same. As we had already seen in one of the example of Arunachal Pradesh.

The situation is even worse for India as Indian Tech companies are no where near Chinese (www.Baidu.com) that can take the charge in case of conflict. Indian big three companies — Indiatimes, Rediff and In.com are very small, and is no match to Google.

As of now there is no issue with Google in India,but let me remind you one of the issue witch recently happen in India (not related to Google) and hits million of users. PayPal the online money transfer giant did not care about fulfilling the Reserve Bank of India criteria and stopped all personal payment in India in a very short notice or i say with no notice.

GigaOM writes, "An unnamed analyst quoted by IDG News Service says that the changes may be related to new government rules in India that are intended to prevent or discourage money laundering. These rules, introduced last year, require financial intermediaries to verify the identity of clients carrying out international money transfers." The problem came when Paypal did not take serious note of Indian government body’s policy change on time, and just ignored the legal obligations it had with the country.

India, and all nations where Google is becoming powerful, needs to be cautiously of this Google’s dangerous move in China.

Happy Blogging !

FaceBook Shop In India

(Reuters) - Popular social-networking site Facebook will open an office in India, joining a long list of international firms that have looked to tap a skilled workforce that provides support services at relatively cheap wages.

The Indian social networking space which was ruled by Google owned Orkut till recently has now been replaced by Facebook. According to Alexa, Facebook is the fourth most visited site in India after Google.co.in, Google.com and Yahoo.com
As on FaceBook Blog :
As more and more people share and connect on Facebook, we are growing our operations and teams to support them around the world. Just last week, we announced plans to invest in a new Austin, Texas, office, and today in India we unveiled our intentions to open an office in Hyderabad.
Both of these offices will allow us to better serve the more than 400 million of you now using Facebook worldwide, as well as our growing number of advertisers and developers. We are now hiring people to join the online sales and operations teams that we’re forming in these new locations.
By having multiple support centers in a variety of time zones, we can provide better round-the-clock, multi-lingual support.
India is a large social media market and though Facebook has a a real firm position in country, there are even more possibilities that remain unexplored. The challenges and competition is on a rise with newer sites coming up. India has been a development base for most of the top tech players for a long time now. The availability of talent at affordable rates has lured many to have multiple offices at various parts of the country.

Now Google CLOUD for Microsof AZURE

Few days back when Microsoft India Group Director Vikas Arora said that the company latest offering in the are of cloud computing "WINDOWS AZURE" is now available commercially in India.

Now its time for Google who opened an online shop for business software hosted as services in the Internet "cloud."

Google Apps Marketplace launched on Tuesday with offerings from more than 50 companies including Intuit's online payroll program for small businesses, according to marketplace product manager Chris Vander Mey.
"Today, we're making it easier for these users and software providers to do business in the cloud with a new online store for integrated business applications," Mey said in a posting at the Google website.
Cloud programs are hosted on the Internet, eliminating the need for people to buy, install and maintain the software.
"We've found that when businesses begin to experience the benefits of cloud computing, they want more," Mey said.
Applications featured at Apps Marketplace synch with programs in a suite of applications that Google offers as online services.
More than 2 million businesses have taken to using Google Apps in the past three years, according to the California Internet giant.
Google's applications challenge software programs sold by rival Microsoft, which makes the bulk of its money from selling or licensing software that is installed on users' computers.

Microsoft 'windows Azure' latest offering in the area of cloud computing




Hi Friend's

In the beginning of the year we talked about the "Top 10 Strategic Technologies for 2010' and "CLOUD COMPUTING" is the No. 1 in that.

Global Giant Microsoft unveiled a portfolio of services in INDIA that will help companies to share software and storage facilities, called CLOUD COMPUTING. With the use of the new service can bring down the IT expense by more than 50%.

Microsoft India Group Director Vikas Arora said that the company latest offering in the are of cloud computing "WINDOWS AZURE" is now available commercially in India.

Cloud computing will be the great technology to reduce the IT expenses and will help company to come out from the recession.In cloud computing, companies share computer resources — such as servers, software and data storage — through the internet, instead of setting up such infrastructure at their own end.

Both individuals and companies are already using cloud computing with services such as web-mail and sharing of software and other applications. The concept is evolving into a simple, pay-per-use way to get services on tap, just like electricity, for businesses.

The cloud is also a green way to do business. Organisations don’t need to set up server banks running lots of software — just pay for what you use. The provider services many users from one set of equipment, halving energy and equipment cost per user.
