90DI Travel makes travel searching ‘Simple & Natural’ !

90di travel search engine makes travel searching easier with natural language search As the holiday season is fast approaching,the Indian travelling freaks(both frequent & occasional) have something to cheer for(as this service addresses one of their core concerns).The service we are talking about is 90DI Travel. Usually,indians have to refer multiple sites for enquiring travel queries related to trains and flights and the user interface of Indianrailways site is not user-friendly at all. 90DI travel brings you all the required information(such as fare) for a journey by train or flight on a single page.It also gives you the seat availability status(very dynamic) of indian trains which is a definite plus to their service(this hasn't been there in other such travel websites). You can view your journey over the indian map(they have integrated mapsofindia API) as well.

‘Pustak’ enters the race to become ‘prime online bookstore’ for Indians

Indian online bookstore Pustak that claims to have a database of over 12 million book titles and offers free international shipping to India. There's hardly any online bookstore left which hasn't been overshadowed by Amazon in U.S. and Europe but India is still a massively populated country(accounts for one-sixth of world's population) where Amazon isn't looking much interested at the moment. There's still not a massive business coming out of India to Amazon and many of the books can't even be shipped to India(limited delivery to few countries).This surely creates a space for a startup to fill out this void and aim to serve as an 'Amazon for indians'. That's the one Pustak is trying to become.It's an online bookstore that claims to have a database of over 12 million book titles and offers free international shipping to India. As this startup is based out of bangalore,all the books which are hard to find

Recently,a post on TechCrunch revealed what went behind the curtains with Hubpages,a startup that lets users write articles and earn revenues from their write-ups.Interestingly,hubpages got screwed by myspace customer execs three consecutive times,for quite illogical reasons. Like every other startup looking for more visitors,Hubpages marketing manager,Ryan Hupfer went ahead with the newly launched MySpace My Ads,a self service ad platform to

Will Online video sites ever turn into a profitable business ?

Popular online video sites are not making BIG money. YouTube, for instance has not yet turned a profitable business due to poor online video monetization. We all know how big YouTube is(ranks 3rd after Google and Yahoo) and how fast online video industry is growing as we are all contributing in it(by creating videos and putting them online) But let's face it...No matter how popular online video sites are,they are not making BIG money for the owners. To cope up with the growing expectations of users and high competition,online video sites such as Veoh,Metacafe,Revision3 and our pet YouTube were putting best of their efforts.
