Hi Anand,
Out of all the numbers you have quoted in the recent post… only the 44% INTERNET USERS undertaking Social Netrworking & Orkut is the most preferred site should be credited to us…
Rest all numbers are not our numbers. I guess there is a confusion somewhere. Posiblly the source has quoted numbers from various sources in cluding ours basis whichever suited to hime/her from whichever source.
Please make necessary correction… our estimate of Urban Indian Internet Users as of Apr. 2007 was 30.3million we don’t do projections
We never did any broadband users projection.

Hi Anand
you are a tech maverick,and your site is well planned and nonambiguous,but the techcrunchies is something i can’t understand, as everything is a bit technical for me. But I’m trying to get hook of things by going through the content. Right now it’s a bit tough.
with best wishes

Hi Bisht
Thanks for your comment. Basically this is a blog on Internet and Web 2.0; the statistics and figures surrounding this sector.
Hope you find them interesting.
Regards
Anand
Why the name Techcrunchies ? I mean there is already Techcrunch then why Techcrunchies ? Don’t you think that was unethical ?
Hi AD
“Tech Crunchies” refers to the crunchies(statistics, bits of info) in tech. I am unsure if you can call that unethical!
In my previous post, i said that the content on techcrunchies is proving to be a bit technical for me. But after following techcrunchies studiously for quite sometime, i’ve started understanding it, and finding it immensely interesting and useful. thank you for enlightening , keep doing so in future as well
Thanks Bisht,
your comments have been a great motivation to write more and more posts. Great to have you here.
Hi Anand,
You had posted a post about infected web pages, some days back.Although i don’t know whether you respond to such queries but still I thought may be it can solve my problem.
So how can a person know whether his or her blog is infected or not?
Yesterday, an account named ‘grogal’ posted a comment on my recent post on my blog. The comment was nothing more than ‘Look here and a hypertext with the word click’, when i clicked on the hypertext, it showed some trojan like messages and started spyware check. Was it a malware attack.
Although i deleted the comment. i don’t know, what effects it can have or how severe is the threat.If it was a attack, will my action suffice and prevent further damages.
Please guide
Hi A Bhist,
Let me take the opportunity to answer you here.
To find a blog is infected its difficult but you can always use raw check on your web site to see how many external links are availble. Try to look around for websites which allows you to see how yor website will look when there is no CSS or styles. Just a raw but lets you find lot of hidden things.
Second. In case you get some link , the only way we can test is go there and see what it does. In case something unusual happens just stop the browser and close it and like you did delete the comment.
It wont affect your blog for sure and rest is you can not do anything except telling people from whom you got comment and every details so they can be careful.
I hope that helps
Hi Ashish,
Thank you for taking some time out of your busy schedule and responding to my query. Although i have done certain actions, which as per you will be sufficient. I’m finding it extremely difficult to find a site which can show the link on my blog.
Regarding the malware threat, i’ll definitely tell others to remain aware of of the malicious account.
Meanwhil i have restored my PC to an earlier point.
Thank you once again.
Hi Anand,
Thank you for showing concern and referring my problem.
Hi Anand,
I’ve been following your blog as usual. The post regarding Corporate Email snooping is quite interesting. The reason is , irrespective of the organisations of Private or Government domain, organisations suffer from the same human errings. So apart from the statistical viewpoint, the post underlines one important fact–humans are to be managed well for the organisations to do well.
Other posts are also very readable and to the point.Thank you for enlightening , keep enlightening us in future as well.
hey, thanks for dropping by.. definitely looking at a domain, who are you using for hosting? any recommendations? i’m really tech challenged, so its going to be a bit of a struggle, i think

And hey, you’re from NITIE. damn, if I’d done that last interview right, I might have been your suuuuper senior
