www.orkut.com
Think of some friend whom you met 10 or 15 or 20 years back. You never met him in ages, and you have no idea about knowing about him. Now go to www.Orkut.com , search for him, and once again get in touch. Yes Orkut is all over Indian Junta or vice versa.
www.Wikipedia.org
Wikipedia is fun. Its one community place where you should spend few minutes and share your knowledge. I recently started a Page on Chilkur Balaji Temple . I am sure in next few days it will get updated by lots of information. How about you starting a page on your native place or a page on some traditional thing from your village.
www.Guruji.com
More than 80% of American search market goes to Google. And we have got use to it so much
that there is no way we can think of going to other search engines. However its very good
practice to try different search engines to see difference in result and find out for
yourself if something helps.
Guruji.com is your specialized search for Indian or Desi stuff.
I tried searching for Kothrud on google vs. guruji. Kothrud is lovely place where I lived while I was working in
Pune. Unfortunately found results more impressive on google. But I am sure guruji will do well
with time.
www.BillMonk.com
I have lived with several room mates in last few years. Most of them are good, some are ok.
www.meebo.com
I have long list of friends, all over the world. They use different Instant Messengers AIM, yahoo, GTalk, MSN . I use MEEBO. I login into MEEBO and I talk to all these people. Give a try, use it for few days, you will get a feeling that you are techie and not just another person.
www.digg.com
Have you been sitting on internet, wanting to spend some time surfing some intersting
stuff and have no idea where to go?
Make digg.com as your homepage. Digg rocks! Digg.com showcases all hot things on internet
and you will never ever find internet boring. Theres always something cool to find from
digg.
Personal website
Alright! Some gyan sharing.
If you have been working on computers for years, do you have some personal website or some
serious blog. Personal website doesnt take much time. Its great feeling when you have
some personal presence on internet. Next time you go out for long weekend, send mail to
your friends to check picture on your personal website, its a great feeling.
Tips for making a personal website:
1) Buy domain name [will cost you less than 10 bucks for a year, buy from anywhere but yahoo small business]
2) Buy hosting space [4-5 dollars per month][less than burger cost at Burger king]
3) Go to www.oswd.org, get some cool CSS template.
4) Use slide.com or flickr.com for pictures, use Youtube to display videos.
5) Mail all your friends to visit your site and keep adding value to it with time
