Teacher’s day Special : Five ‘Frontrunners’ of “e-learning 2.0″

September 5th, 2008 3 Comments   Posted in Uncategorized

To make this year’s Teacher’s day special for our readers(expecting atleast few teachersteach1.jpg within our readership domain),we have come up with a list of websites which are making a significant(if not great) contribution in the field of education of different sorts.

But there is one thing that remains common among all the sites that have made it to this list…

They are all e-learning 2.0 websites,which means they are open(unlike closed,transaction based systems),community fueled(unlike tutor sourced) and employ Web 2.0 technologies to execute their mission(and that’s actually a special and unique thing about this list).

They defy the old methods of learning on the web and have certainly achieved their goals to an remarkable extent.

So,here goes the list : More »

“Addoursearch” lets your site get searched from the browser searchbar itself

September 4th, 2008 1 Comment   Posted in Uncategorized

Addoursearch is a web app that lets your web site or blog’s visitors searadd1.jpgch your site directly from their browser’s built-in search feature. Addoursearch.com is a free service and requires no registration to participate.

The good part is a hassle-free procedure to get this widget.Users simply complete a online form with their site information and are then presented with a small snippet of code. When this code snippet is installed in a web page, it generates a small image or “badge” similar to popular bookmark and RSS buttons commonly found on web sites and blogsadd2.jpg.

Addoursearch is Web’s first browser search plugin service.It opened its services on June 5th,2008,and within two months(little more than this) of its launch,it has already got a million badges out of its factory.

According to Troy Peterson,the founder/developer of his Duluth based startup,”the widget is easy to install by any visitor to your site/blog and hence serves your site with an easy way to get searched by your visitor

The area where Addoursearch will find it tough to survive is More »

TechPluto….Re-ideated !

August 31st, 2008 1 Comment   Posted in Uncategorized

Whazz up !

All you guys who have been following TechPluto will witness even wider coverage of Web products,services and lots more from now onwards.

Till now,TechPluto confined its domain to reviewing startups/early stage web services only.But from now on,you will witness much more on TechPluto.

From Tech events to silicon valley gossip,from giant mergers to controversial acquisitions,from hard-hitting comparisons to social media analysis,from critical statistics to Number crunching…..All fully loaded stuff

And yes,this re-ideation also includes our “more casual” approach towards things that matter on WWW.

Why this…?

A cluster of events passed by,from product launches to giant deals/backtracks but TechPluto felt confined to its domain and could not share its perspective towards the events.

Many hidden facts and technology gossips left untold coz we were bound to our own definition(startup analysis).

But user feedback and our own introspection led us to re-ideate TechPluto and broaden its coverage in the field of Technology

We hope that the “New version” will find much more appreciation and readership and our readers will find multiple reasons to bookmark our weblog.

See ya,

July 16th, 2008 1 Comment   Posted in Uncategorized

Surprise !

This is something that rarely appears on TechPluto(coz TechPluto specializes in StartUp Analysis)

BlogoWogo - A ‘Human powered Blog directory‘,rather than pointing to its own homepage,is pointing to Google.com(at the moment) ….

In other words,a ‘Human Powered Blog Directory’ is suddenly vanished and is displaying Google.com instead of its own website…..

But Why ?
