दोस्तों सलाम, मैं बहुत खुश हूँ की कल रात हमारी टी फॉर टेक्नोलॉजी की पहली मीटिंग हुई आज जब मैं हिन्दी टाइपिंग प्रयोग करने बैठा तो बहुत मज़ा आया ये तो सच में बहुत आसान हैं , अब मुझे कभी भी हिन्दी टाइप करने वालो के नखरे नहीं झेलने पड़ेंगे http://www.hindiyugm.com/ पर रोमन इंग्लिश को हिन्दी में लिखने का ये औजार बहुत ही कारामद है अब देखिये न सिर्फ़ पाँच मिनट मैं ये चिठ्ठा तयार हो गया इग्लिश मैं टाइप करने मैं ये मज़ा नही आता ! चलिए अब मैं आपको 'Tea for technology' के बारे में बताता हूँ कुछ अरसे से ये ख्याल मेरे मन मैं कुलबुला रहाथा की आजकल टेक्नोलॉजी इतनी तेज़ी से बदल रही है की हर किसी को लगातार सीखना ज़रूरी है मगर रोज़मर्रा की दोड़ धूप मैं इतना वक्त ही नही मिलता की खास तौर से कहीं जा के सीखें मन में ये सवाल उठा की ऐसा क्या करें की हमारी रफ्तार टेक्नोलॉजी की रफ्तार के साथ मिल जाए और इससे सीखना कुदरती लगे ?अब ये तो सब ही जानते हैं की जितनी अहम और मजे दार बातें चाय की प्याली के साथ होती हैं, वैसी भारी भरकम 'वर्कशॉप' वाली मीटिंग मैं नही होतीं और सीखने सिखाने का जो अम्ल है वो मज़...

Getting market opinion and research data through web has always been a workload for the " Marketing & Tech-savy people' but to get a quick opinion, I would like to use some free, cool, online polls and survey tool like www. poll daddy.com. believe me no technical knowledge is required to do it by yourself. So take a deep breath, relax and answer this quick poll !! Do you like this idea of conducting polls by yourself ? ( polls )

Last friday I went to see a photo exhibtion with my friend Robert. The exhibition was nice but I want to tell you about my experience and fixation with 'Digital photobooth'. Photographer and installation artist Mark Van is the pioneer in using digital booth as an art exhibit, the concept is simple but innovative 'you click your own picture and see it immediately on a big screen'. The heart of this concept lies in a simple emotional equation. "You feel good to have the power to compose your photograph." What a digital fixation !

My volunteering experience with global giving can be summarized as a window, a window in the digital world of non-profits. A world where market is the driving force and market is controller. Whether it’s the fast changing technology or user-friendly services or the Internet tools, the market or rather Donor’s choice governs every thing. It was interesting to know how a common person like you and me can induce change by just a click as a ‘donor’ and how a single feedback can direct change in an organization. I belong to India; the largest producer of IT professionals but its application there in the citizen sector is negligible. My exposure and volunteering experience with GlobalGiving has shown me the enormous potential of IT & the use of online tools to further a cause that needs to be tapped by the ‘non profits’. For me the encounter with web 2.0 was most exciting. Whether its tracking website traffic through Google analytics, designing online surveys or poll or getting RSS feed ...

Recently I encountered the www.helium.com and came to know how they pay bloggers for their writings based on the readers’ ratings. This is very common in private sector for online marketing sites like Amazon and eBay but immediately it stuck to mind that why it can’t be applied to citizen sector organizations. Can we provide a transparent review of organizations to the potential donors? How was their giving experience and are they satisfied with the charity? I know it’s a pain spot for the charities with all sort of apprehensive questions about image brand and reputation. But with the growing demand of credibility, transparency and accountability citizen sector will definitely require easy to understand information regarding performance of charities and review by its donors or ‘customers’ as the lingo goes.
