Gmail Chat Launching File Transfer Feature

Posted: 30 Mar 2010 02:57 PM PDT

How many of you missed file transfer feature in Gtalk when they moved from Yahoo messenger to Google talk. This is one such feature which I always wanted to have in my Google talk application and after this update from Google team :

Starting today, you can share photos, documents, and other files while chatting in iGoogle and orkut . To give it a try, just click Send a file… in the Actions menu while chatting with a friend (no download required)

This news come as a surprise to me and this is good news for all the users who are fan of Gmail and it's services. Gmail chat already integrated Video chat sometime back and enabling file transfer will make it more feature rich and I believe this will fetch them more users from their counter part IM.

I will love to know your reaction for this new feature from Gmail chat team?

50 MBPS Broadband Connection from Bharti Airtel

Posted: 30 Mar 2010 02:45 PM PDT

When ever we talk about broadband connection in India, the most common problem which we will face is broadband speed. The maximum speed which I have personally used from a home user perspective is 2 MBPS. Though Airtel speed on demand let me get 8 MBPS speed in the past but again paying 120rs/hour (2.5$) doesn't sound affordable to me all the time.

Airtel has launched 2 new broadband plan for Delhi and Gurgaon :

50 MBPS Broadband– Rs. 8999 per month
30 MBPS Broadband– Rs. 7999 per month

The data transfer is not unlimited. 200 GB of free data transfer are allowed in this plan, that mean's you can download lots of data with blazing speed.

Though this doesn't seems like affordable by a normal home user but from a business perspective this plan seems to be very much effective. Right now we are using Tata internet connection in our office with backup connection from Airtel.

If you are an Indian broadband user, I will love to know your view on this new broadband plan from Airtel?

Check Buzz updates with Desktop application

Posted: 30 Mar 2010 12:42 AM PDT

Anyone using Twitter and Facebook a lot might be aware of desktop applications like Digsby and Yoono, to use them without the need to visit their web pages. For the moment there are not many impressive stand alone desktop apps for Google Buzz. After doing a bit of research I found Google Buzz Desktop a application that allows you to update and read your Buzz updates from the desktop itself.

About Google Buzz Desktop

It is light weight as its created with Adobe Air. Pretty similar to TweetDeck and the scores of Twitter apps that are around.
Once I signed in with my Gmail username and password, I was pretty much set with Buzz updates and can look them up onmy desktop instead of the need have a browser open.
It updates automatically every 2 minutes and that suits me great.

Buzz is not used as extensively as Twitter as most people do not Buzz as much as they Tweet. But this precisely seems like the reason why a lot of spam is avoided by people in their Buzz updates and hence most things updated by my friends end up being more worthy of reading rather than a tweet might be. This is where a Google Buzz Desktop works absolutely fine for me.

What do you think? Do you know of any Desktop application for Buzz? Do drop in your comments.

*The website is in Spanish but pretty self explanatory for using the application and hence should not be a problem.
