Back!

Back after a long vacation. Feeling refreshed. Hope to get back to blogging regularly.

Two interesting sights today.
- MapMyIndia. Has detailed interactive maps of India and also provides driving directions.
- Guruji Search - India Search. Their "local" search database looks good.

Am i the only one to feel that Scoble's blog has gotten very bland and boring since he left Microsoft? I have around 20 of his unread posts in the list view on Google Reader, but none of the titles are interesting enough for me to click it! (Note: List View is a Google Reader mode in which it shows titles and snippets of posts just like Gmail)

Seriously cool workspaces. 10 cool and innovative workspaces

Netflix has announced a prize money of $1 Million for anyone who improves their movie recommendations engine. One catch though!

The Contest entry period commences on October 2, 2006 (00:00:00 UTC) and continues until the Grand Prize is awarded (the "Contest Term"). No additional registrations or Contest submissions of qualifying set predictions will be accepted after the close of the Contest Term. Netflix reserves the right to cancel the Contest after October 2, 2011 in its sole discretion.

So you might have to wait till 2011 to find the winner! :)
