Signboards (with a helping hand)

Signboards are intented to make people's life eaiser.Mainly it helps people to get off with their confusions and move forward.For me these sign-boards portrays the mindset/creativity and mainly concentration of the guy who sweat out behind the screen,comming up with a model.And if that bozo turned out to be careless,then ......

As readers of this blog,you might have vitnessed so many of these instances in your day today life.Some of which,you might have noticed ,some of which you have went through with out noticing.I am sure that people who are used to box with a software chipped in,so called "computers" have gone through forwards projecting these kind of idiotic works.Something which i have received recently are these :





From then, i was aware of this and was in look out for the same.And finally it was on 18th June'06 something striked me.It was a signboard which shows up where to flee and make yourself safe on emergency.It 's clearly written "Emergency Exit" and bolded out.But the artist,who created this left out one thing.Can you make out from this figure ?


If yes,proceed reading the next para,else better click the top-right most button on your browser.That way you can honour me :)

It was there for a long ,very long time with out grabbing anyone's attention.And it's very close to my cubicle.I was curious to know why people didnot really noticed it.May be because,there was no emergency declared here ,atleast fot the past 16 months.Seeing this,i couldn't help myself laughing for quite sometime and was feelin better,for having caught this on my eyes,rather someone pointing me out.The moment i captured this on my cell phone and thought will preserve this in the form of this post.

So where will people flee at times of emergency ??
Pictures grab attention of people than write-up/sound by nature and I am sure that atleast some % of them will follow the figure and rest will follow the arrow :)

Media business::The true faces

As you read through this post, you will be experiencing the changes personally ,right from end user point of you as well content providers.

My recent liking for photography and look out for a pretty good digital camera took me as well taught me many things which are floating around on net.Thanks to online reviews and ratings,which actually took me here writting something about what it looked for me "the media business models".

Now portal owners are trying their level best to get their content advertized properly and to make sure that people do visit back next time, impossing a kind of addiction.Now on, the media companies will generate the bulk of their value from serving their ability to aggregate and serve audiences better than the competition. It doesn’t matter if the media company actually creates or even controls the content that draws them. Channels will be transparent and content won’t necessarily even be owned in a syndicated and aggregated content landscape.

Some examples goes this way : Yahoo Q&A section,which probes people to discuss anything under the sun and mostly it's a controlled environment.So a big 'NO' to jugglery,after all people don't have time for that .. Similar ones one the line are dig, , which produces no content of their own but has a very unique way to look into the interests of its users. As a take back, you can directly integrate a digg link to your site.Next was an initiative from Google with it's newly launched Google Pack,which bundles sooo many tools with one install.It won’t be easy or feel natural, but the sooner media companies and marketers can experience these technologies first hand, the better off they will be as more and more consumers adopt them.


So who’s doing it well in the media business? I like to point to CNET’s News.com, which has great news content targeting the tech enthusiast,DP review -which has a wide content info and user reviews and pick of them is Y!,which leads the rail with its new Y! Mail Beta,which is an eye opener.It's something which brings Y! more closer to the public and I am sure that they'll welcome it with both the arms.Again this is what people have to comment on it it.

So if you are not seeing any head nor tail, better start off now,as someone smarter than me said "start small but start now",else you will be loosing out "LOTS".

B'lore gettin dressed-up :)

Finally the Great Indian Monsoon has hit Bangalore .
But it has arrived quite early.
Looks like it has taken the contract of cleanin up all the B'lore roads in one stretch,thanks to snail movement of work that's happenin here . I remember readin an article about Govt. plans to clean up MG road some time back.But that never materialized.Finally nature has taken a call. And that's exactly we are witnessing out here.Most of my weeekend plans came to a halt after all i hate getting drenched.Now I am enjoying the weather stayin back home,under my blanket.This is the best time to kick start my GMAT prep.Better never than late as my time line is gettin over by March'07 . Time'z up for me to pull up my socks.
