Google Reader alternative Feedly

Google has always been the front runner on creating new and exciting products. Even though they come up with lot of good products, I believe they sometimes close down some of their good products unnecessarily.

When Google search came with a bang and captured most of the search market, it innovated many other new and better products not restricting itself to search engine alone. This gave way to them as a market leader in innovation (probably, Apple and Google fight here for the throne).
Google has a bad habit of forcing the change on customers. Gmail, one of the best mail available in the market today, has always changed itself according to the company's vision. It would have been better if Google had provided the 'customize' option on Gmail to have it configured according to what they like by giving some options. On a funny note, one should be happy that, at least, its alive.

Google announced its going to phase out Google Reader from July 1, 2013. Feedly is the perfect replacement for the Google Reader. It integrates seamlessly and there is complete assurance that it gets all the Google Reader data directly once you give the permission for it access your Google Reader. Also, it has a feature of auto-syncing the changes to you do in Google Reader and Feedly. Also, it has its mobile version, apps, dashboard look and the best of all, the classic look of Google Reader.


I am really disappointed with Google Reader being dumped by Google. As Google User(s), We should always be ready and willing to move away from any of the Google Products. It phased out iGoogle, the dashboard of widgets sometime back and its Reader this time.

Which Google Product(s) you love the most and wouldn't want google to dump it ever. Give it in your comments. Also, Share whether Feedly or any other RSS Feed Reader solved your Google Reader problem. Happy to hear.

Nokia E51 WLAN Settings

Nokia E51 is a smart phone with almost all the features available in it. It looks really slim and comes in three colors. It has loads of features and highlight of them all is the connection through the Internet through WLAN. You can get a Internet connection from the service provider and ask for the wi-fi router. With the wi-fi router, you can connect to the Internet through various other devices like Laptop, Nokia E51 etc., You will be provided with the password for the WLAN connection and only if you enter the password correctly you will be connected to the Internet through that WLAN. As you may expect, this password will be asked only when you connect to Internet through this WLAN for the very first time. In Laptop/Computer, you have Network settings to identify and modify the settings if wrongly entered. But this is somewhat tricky in case of Nokia E51! In Nokia E51, You have the option of Browse WLAN right at the home page for you. If you have customized for something different, u

Igate delisting - Is it worth the bet? - Part II

I said it is worth the bet in my previous post . For delisting, the owner should atleast have 90% of the company's share. This is not the case with Igate which has only 80.1% currently. But it can continue with delisting process as it is approved by the shareholders. The floor price for the delisting process is set at Rs. 288.90/- , which is the 26 day average of high and low price. The current market price is Rs. 374/-. As I said before, there is no ceiling price and one can bid at whatever price he likes! The price will be decided after the Reverse book building process and it is decided by the price quoted by majority of the people much similar to IPO book building. The management then decided to carry on or cancel the de-listing process at will after the exit price is known. If the exit price is approved, then that price will be the price at which the management buy back all the shares. If the price you quoted is greater than exit price then yours will not be bought by the comp

What does customer experience mean?

Customer experience is the experience of the customer from the period they came to know about the existence of the product until they finish using the product. For a hotel like Saravana Bhavan, the customer experience is from the point they came to know about its existence (the day they started) until they are associated with that particular customer (probably, forever for Saravana Bhavan but it depends on each of the customer). For a typical brokerage firm, it is all about how easy it is to open the account and the experience until the customer closes the account. For BSNL or Samsung, it is from when the customer gets to know about their products (the point when they want to buy it) until the time they stopped using it. Customer service is also part of it. Its all about the customer service, once the customer has become the owner of the product. Most of the times, I have seen, the Customer Experience is great until one procure the product or service and after that, because of t
