WDYL.com is a website rolled out by Google which shows A Range Of Google Product Results On One Page. Here’s the site itself: http://www.wdyl.com/   Here is the quick introduction video.     This seems like an User Experience experiment, as they mash up different categories of search results on one page.

  Google introduced Google+ social network for what it called 'real-life sharing.' The UI might look cooler (it does) but this won’t necessarily make it more attractive for social interaction. Drag-and-drop is grossly overrated as a UI interaction metaphor – many regular users have never used drag&drop. What is good about Facebook is that it “just works” without any setup effort.

It certainly shows that they are paying attention towards Microsoft Bing and think that what Bing’s doing is some what right. Its interesting to notice how if Microsoft tries to imitate something they get blasted whereas if others do the same, they get lauded. Google appears to

This IPL drama is getting into my head. Cricket was once called a gentleman’s game. IPL has taken it to the new level. Cheer girls, Bollywood, movie stars, entertainment and what not, every masala added to it made it  more spicy and yummy. Indians have always loved cricket.  And IPL has cashed in big time on the cricket frenzy by transforming the game into more of a commercial enterprise than a

When IPL is almost coming to an end, I was wondering why this time there is no controversy. In IPL 1st season  it was that slap by harbhajan to Sreesanth that created the news, in IPL 2nd season  it was the fake IPL player blog about Kolkata Knight riders which created sensation. Now in IPL 3rd season it is that tweet by Lalit Modi which made Sashi Taroor to resign from his ministry. My favourite

The Supreme Court recently ruled that live-in relationships and pre-marital sex cannot be treated as an offence. This surprises me a bit, because this could mean that dating culture is legal in India, or going a step ahead it could also mean that prostitution is legal now. Some could argue that how prostitution is equal to premarital sex but it could give people an easy escape when someone brings
