india 2.0 Bliss: introducing � indiamarks, indiavents & indiahappening

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 27, 2006 --

Since early 2005, we have been looking closely at the Indian internet market, its size and projected growth, the key services used online, the user demographic, modes of Internet access and such other aspects to really understand how we can focus our energies on delivering the next generation of compelling online services for the Indian end user market. We decided that we�ll build services that will address some clear end user pain points, deliver a (significantly) better user experience and will grow with the Indian online user base as participation and interaction increases over a period of time.

With the launch of indiagoes on Jan 26th, we delivered the first version of our vision of delivering a superior news experience to the Indian user, combining MSM as well as the blogopshere.

Today, we are annoucing the launch of three new services which we believe will bring the Indian online users closer as a community, delivering a rich platform for leveraging the collective knowledge of the community.

indiamarks is a social bookmarking service for the global indian community. You can save your bookmarks with the click of a button and organize all your online research with ease. You can share your bookmarks with friends and family, so they can look up your research on say, traveling to goa, by simply checking you bookmarks for the tag goa, or whatever you may have used for it. Most importantly, you�ll be able to find useful information very quickly and easily (balaji temple pittsburgh, kerala travel information), by leveraging the social bookmarks of other users. del.icio.us pioneered social bookmarking and serves as a great source of information discovery for tech and design community. We believe that the real value of social bookmarking is realized when a service is built around a focused community � large or small � and indiamarks is created for the global indian community!

indiavents is a social events calendar for the global Indian community, driven my Indians around the world. You can add events, share with friends and family and find new events easily on indiavents. We hope that indiavents can serve as a community calendar for Indians to let others know about the various events coming up in their cities and discover events happening in (unfamiliar) cities that they may be traveling to. indiavents will eventually make it easy for you to look up whats happening tonight anywhere in the world. If you are in London on a Friday night and want to find out any desi parties that may be happening that evening, indiavents may help.

indiahappening is a source for finding the new, important and popular online news, updates and opinions about india . indiahappening is driven by the community of users who post new stories, vote a thumps-up or a thumps-down for stories posted by other users. The indiahappening system democratizes the submissions by showing the best and the most popular stories on the top and pushing the bad submissions to the bottom.
