GMail in Hindi (Reposted)

Google just announced support for 5 Indian languages in GMail. This
was a much awaited feature as Indic transliteration has been available
in blogger and Orkut for more than an year now.
When you compose a new mail in Gmail, you should now see an icon with
an Indian character, as the screenshot below shows. This feature is
enabled by default for Gmail users in India. If you do not see this
function enabled by default, you will need to go the "Settings" page
and enable this option in the "Language" section.

When you click the Indian languages icon, you can type words the way
they sound in English and Gmail will automatically convert the word to
its Indian local language equivalent.

Road Navigation through Video Maps

Lot of new ideas and innovative start ups are moving quickly through the mapping/navigation market in India. Mapping or Navigational technologies and start ups need to move quickly if they want to capture the market.


The latest addition to navigational start ups is www.vidteq.com.


Are you tired of asking driving directions....are you tired of locating a business....We are here to help you out. We are a Bangalore based start up on a mission to help people with providing driving directions and locating a business

We are proud to introduce unique and innovative navigation concept based on Video Maps. Video Map is a feature rich next generation navigable map built on a traditional digital map. Video Map is a video clip of the complete route between source and destination with rich features (business logos, background music, turn-by-turn audio overlay, road names etc.) embedded into it. Video Map is built of individual geo-tagged video segments.

Driving directions provided traditionally consist of digital map and turn by turn text directions. These directions are easy to follow provided all the streets are marked with clearly visible street nameplates, which is usually not the case in countries like India. This is where need for visual navigation aid arises and our Video Map product would address this space.

Video Map is meant not only for navigation but is also useful for locating businesses and exploring the streets, all sitting in front of your computer. We have surveyed a list of prominent businesses, points of interest with their accurate location and also captured their photographs. This information in turn is embedded right inside the video and also on the digital map. You can explore the streets i.e. virtually navigate through the streets, and find out what is where even before you step out of the door.

As part of the navigable solution, we provide the following - Video Map of the complete route, Digital Map with Route overlay, Image (Point-of-Interest and Decision-Points) integration and Landmark based Text directions. The Images are integrated both into Digital Map as well as Text directions. 

We are the first ones (not just India but 
World) to come up with a Video Map based solution for Road navigation and we at VidTeq are really proud of it. Our mission is to be the world's leading provider of Video Maps and our vision is to be the leader in road navigation for developing countries like India and Others.

Google Romance

http://www.google.com/romance/

Pin All Your Romantic Hopes on Google

When you think about it, love is just another search problem. And we've thought about it. A lot. Google Romance™ is our solution.

Google Romance is a place where you can post all types of romantic information and, using our Soulmate Search, get back search results that could, in theory, include the love of your life. Then we'll send you both on a Contextual DateTM, which we'll pay for while delivering to you relevant ads that we and our advertising partners think will help produce the dating results you're looking for.

With Google Romance, you can:

  • Upload your profile – tell the world who you are, or, more to the point, who you'd like to think you are, or, even more to the point, who you want others to think you are.
  • Search for love in all (or at least a statistically significant majority of) the right places with Soulmate Search, our eerily effective psychographic matchmaking software.
  • Endure, via our Contextual Dating option, thematically appropriate multimedia advertising throughout the entirety of your free date.
