I think there are couple of reasons why India & Brazil are high on the time spent list – Orkut, which is a Google property is quite popular among Indian’s and Brazilians. Being a Social networking site, the time spent on this site is much higher. Orkut has not got much traction other than in these 2 countries.
The chart below proves that as well.

Basically it is a YES NO.Yes in the sense google has to concentrate more on applications, rather google itself has to take on the role of a sort of Internet OS ,by cementing  not only google applicationsbut also  hosting  indenpendant app...

I certainly remember Third Voice, which let people to comment on the websites via a browser plugin, and this didn't get along well with the  Website owners where  people were “defacing” their websites with comments they couldn’t control. But the idea wasn't dumped out completely as Google now has launched something called ' Sidewiki '. Sidewiki is part of Google Toolbar and it will be built directly into Google’s Chrome browser. Users activate the service by clicking on a button and a sidebar appears to the left of whatever website is being viewed. The user can then leave a comment on the entire page or a selected piece of text, and share the URL via email, Twitter or Facebook, but Google s...

Radhakrishna Marar  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  2 years ago
yes , this is the second time in this month and Google should look into the outage. Google being one of the most commonly used website in the world should be cautious on the service provided. Even a second of failure affects millions of people....

Yes they are going to be here.. and the first destination is Bangalore... Google cars and trikes will begin driving and taking street level photographs of public locations around the city. The images will be made available at a later date in Street View on Google Maps. Street View is a popular feature of Google Maps , already available in more than 27 countries. It allows users to virtually explore and navigate a neighborhood through panoramic street-level images. It is also available on Google Maps for mobile. In countries where Street View is available, the user can access street-level imagery by zooming into the lowest level on Google Maps, or by dragging the orange "Pegman" icon on the left-hand side of the map onto a blue highlighted street. In addition to the cars, the Google Trike - a specially designed three-wheel pedi-cab with a camera system mounted on top - will start gathering images from select locations in the area such as the Nrityagram Dance Village over the next...

Google + has decide to revamp its design and come up with new look simply features where users can understand easily. Yet, Google + could not get healthy feedback as it was expecting as well as also could not attract users as compared other social media rivals. As well, despite of unique innovative concept of G+ , users were not satisfyinng of usage they were getting inconvenience during operating. However, G + has already  crossed 90 millions subscribers within short spsan of time.But, as a part of social media the important thing is that how much time is being spent by users on G+ against rivals Facebook, tiwtter, Klout etc. And, overall users are not spending that much time on G+ as compared to other rivals.

Rahul Dravid announced his retirement and suddenly we find a new member in the team. Some people think he should have retired earlier while other say he should have continued playing. But all in all I find his decision of making space for someone new right. We need the 'new' generation to come u and replace old before it is too late. This is not only applicable to the game but everywhere. Yes specially politics. During the recent elections when the elephant was run over by the cycle we all knew its going to be one of them. It rarely makes  any difference who it is.  In cricket the selector don't want to let go the experienced and in politics the inexperienced do not want to jump in. How often do we find a new bee out of an unknown background coming up for a change. If we ask our-self would we be up to participate in the dirty job? I presume that perhaps the answer is 'NO' My question is how can we convince, teach and encourage the new generation to participate in the process of...
