airtel-3g

We are at the Airtel 3G launch event happening at ITC Gardenia in Bangalore where they have just announced the launch of Airtel 3G service across Karnataka. It might sound ridiculous to our international readers, but the fact of the matter is, here in India, we are jumping around to see 3G on our mobile devices when our counterparts in the west are almost ready with 4G LTE. but then, having a pie late is better than never having it, isn't it?

Airtel 3G Price Tariffs

We do not have the exact plans yet. From what we know so far, the 3G data plans are extremely disappointing. The onus seems to be on the customer experience and not on the pricing. During the press meet, Airtel CEO, Mr.Sanjay Kapoor, kept iterating this and made sure that they are not going for any price-wars at this time. So do not expect any cheap plans for now. The screenshot gives an idea.

You gotta be kidding me, Google! Of all the things alive, kicking and buzzing around, how on earth Orkut grew by a whopping 60% since October 2010? Well, Google hasn't explicitly released this data, but their online tools indicate that. Check out the growth graph for Orkut.com according to Google adplanner before be dissect it in detail.

I generally find Google ad planner more accurate than other services like Alexa & Compete in tracking the general performance of a website. As the screenshot above indicates, the data tracked on the graph is only an estimation, but they are usually accurate at-least in terms of the general trends, if not the actual numbers. They depend upon the cookies set (by Adsense?) to gauge the Daily Unique Visitors. Funny thing is, according to the adplanner graph for Orkut, Daily Unique Visitors are constantly increasing since Jan 2009, where it was less than 10 million. It grew to almost 30 million in October 2010 and by December, it had touched 50 million unique visitors per day! Ironically, both Alexa and Compete tell a completely contrasting story.

The New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers square off at 6:30 pm ET on Sunday, Jan 23rd 2011 for the AFC Championship game.

The Jets had topped the Steelers 22-17 in Week 15 of the regular season in Heinz Field. Now, the Jets have to travel to Pittsburgh again as the lowest seed in the AFC.

The NFL's most intense, glamorous and longest rivalry between Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears will be seen at the NFC 2011 Championships on Sunday, Jan 23rd 2011 at 3 p.m. ET. For the first time since 1921, Packers and Bears will meet each other for a berth in the Super Bowl 2011. The Packers won the last meeting 10-3 in Week 17 when Rodgers threw the winning fourth-quarter touchdown to tight end Donald Lee to clinch a wild-card playoff berth. The Bears hope to douse Rodgers, the hottest quarterback in the playoffs with six passing touchdowns and another one running in two postseason wins. With temperatures expected to be hovering around 20 degrees at gametime with a chance of snow, the field, one of the NFL's worst, could play a role in the outcome. This has to be the game of the season and I am sure you do not want to miss it at any cost. Even if you...
