Circle of Friends

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

Everybody has them. Office friends, college friends, colony friends etc. etc. Sometimes you even go on and make these classifications in your yahoo messenger. You usually don’t mix them when you socialize. If you are out with your college friends, you would not call over the office ones. Standard protocols.

Last evening, a friend of mine told me about his set of classifications. This chap has gone a little ahead with this classification stuff. When I asked him why a particular person was missing, he tells me “it’s a separate group - the cute ones. I went out with them yesterday.”

Can you believe it?????

Mobile Web = Web Browser on Mobile ??

Reading a compilation of statistics on the usage of web on mobile
Ughh, not again dude!!

Why is mobile web nothing more than a web browser? Why do I care how many people are using Safari or Opera Mini on their phone.

On a PC, I would agree that most of web usage is through a browser. But does that mean that it should happen the same way on a mobile as well? Would a plain emulation of PC on a handset make a good enough use-case for people? Think…

Hasn’t iPhone already proved a point in this arena?

Micro-blogging is more fun :D. Short and frequent (hopefully) from now on.
