I recently received a mail invite from a friend to join Rediff Mypage.
I checked out and found that this is similar to Facebook,Orkut and others.
In addition to being a social networking site it also provide the option of integrating Facebook,Orkut,Twitter and Linkedin under one umbrella with ability to view and post on these social networking sites and so I gave it a try.
The concept looked very good but the implementations isnt that good.
Facebook Integration:
The integration with facebook i weired. I am seeing updates from people i dont know after i allowed Rediffmypage to integrate with Facebook. but the posts were posted to the Facebook correctly.
Orkut Integration :
i was prompted for my Gmail credentials and then it took me to Google accounts dashboard. I clicked on Orkut from there and i got a message Orkut cannot be displayed in a frame.
Twitter Integration::
Twitter integration went well and fast enough.
Linkedin Integration :
I gave my login credentials and it said connecting and it got stuck there.
In theory the Rediff Mypage concept looks good but In implementation its not working that well.
Lets hope they fix these bugs. If the social networking integration works out fine, then Rediff Mypage will be a hit. but for now i think it has got a long way to go and perhaps it may have been released prematurely.
Still checking out for more news on Rediff Mypage. Will keep this space updated.
Rediff has also come up with a blogging platform i i tried it out. My Blog is : http://blogs.rediff.com/devaguptam/ . I am happy that Rediff has ventured in to this market as competition is always health for any industry.
But i personally feel that http://devaguptam.blogspot.com/ is more appealing than http://blogs.rediff.com/devaguptam/.
http://blogs.rediff.com/devaguptam/ looks more like a web page link than the homepage of a blog or website.

whats is SNAPDEAL.COM
SNAPDEAL.COM Review.
SNAPDEAL is actually a site which offers you discounted deals in Food joints, restaurants, multiplexes, and other businesses in Indian cities. I think it has a good reach in Metros.
SnapDeal is a venture by Jasper, a leading marketing company from India.
From my opinion, you can check out the deals available on SNAPDEAL.COM and do a bit of local research to check if the hotels/products listed on snapdeal.com are Good before trying out the discounted coupons available on SNAPDEAL.COM.
I just checked out the Hyderabad Page to see what it has to offer in Hyderabad. The one thing that appealed to me was the 40 percent off on the newly launched XTRAICE ice skating arena in IMAX Hyderabad.
I think it will serve as a good advertising platform for new businesses and companies in India. They can offer discounts on snapdeal.com and get brandawarness for their brands.
You can signup to Snapdeal through link : SNAPDEAL
