Getafixx – A very innovative way to connect to the expert knowledge

What do you do when you are stuck with something? Call a friend & try to get a resolution? Well, that’s what I do normally. But sometimes you can’t find someone who has expertize in that particular field. Then you will probably look for some forums & post your questions right? But, these forums takes a day long to get a reply & most of the time replies aren’t helpful. So, you finally end up having an unsolved problem!!

Getafixx is the best & perfect solution for you to connect to expert knowledge. To start using Getafixx, just add getafixx@voicetap.in to your gtalk & start chatting. You don’t really need any help after that, when I added it, I didn’t read any document, I just followed the response from the bot!!

getafixx: Gaurav Sahni (@37) lol, alright

It is that simple!!! These people have implemented the entire login process inside the chat itself. Including sign-up process I was able to connect to an expert in just 5 minutes. Next time it’s going to take just few seconds I guess!! I should say this is very innovative product I reviewed in recent days.

I normally say “try Google for it” when people ask me something I don’t know. But, from now on I’ll probably say “Try Getafixx“!!!

Tata indicom recently launched Blackberry service, I was curious about what they have to offer. I come across an awsome UNLIMITED tariff plan exclusively for Blackberry users. The plan is called as Platinum 2500 & details are as below:

So you get unlimited local & STD calls, unlimited SMS & also unlimited data usage (internet) for Rs.2500 a month. This is the only ALL UNLIMITED plan which I ever come across & right choice for businessman. Looking forward for similar plan from any GSM service provider like Airtel or Vodafone.

Web greetings sites are bit boring these days, I have almost stopped using them. I still feel actual greeting card will have more value than these web greetings. But these days we are so lazy, we do almost everything on web including paying bills, transferring money…etc. Obviously we don’t have time to goto greeting shop to pick one & post it/courier it.

Here comes Papam.in, where you can find collection of greeting cards for almost all occasions. Select a card & customize it with your own words or keep the default one. Enter recipient’s postal address & pay the money. Done, greeting card will reach recipient in 7 days. Greeting cards are priced at as low as Rs.39 including shipping. You can also buy a package of Rs.500,Rs.1000,Rs.2000 & Rs.5000 where you can get discounts. You can either pay for as much as you purchase or buy credits through packages mentioned above & use it for sending greeting cards.

As per my knowledge Papam is the only player in this business. Start sending greetings at Papam.in

My wife is sick, she suffered from high fewer. I requested my family doctor to come & check her. But that doctor is too busy with other patients. He promised me that he will come on Monday evening. But not yet came. Due to all these personal problems, I am unable to post new articles on Tech Bangalore. Many of you may be eagerly waiting for interesting posts mentioned on “Upcoming” column. But, I am extremely sorry for inconvenience to post new articles. I am missing my wife a lot, she never been sick after marriage, this is the first time. Every night I was spending time with her till midnight, I never slept before 12:30 when she was all right. But these days I am going to sleep at 10 PM! I will start posting as soon as she get well. Currently seeking my Aunt’s help to post this.

For all girls out there, I am not yet married

I totally forgot about Blog Action day, a day when thousands of bloggers around the world write about same topic, environment. Here are few threats made to environment from IT Industry:

1. E-waste: Companies disposing unwanted computers & other peripherals which are not bio degradable.
2. Using glasses for buildings: Many IT companies uses glasses for their buildings to make it good looking. But this causes increase in temperature surround & inside building. Hence air conditioners consumes lot of electricity. Another disadvantage is Birds often dashes these glasses because of its reflectiveness.
3. Ups Batteries: All IT companies uses huge UPSs to prevent data loss due to power cut. These UPSs uses huge batteries which may be recycled. I know a company which buys these batteries to recycle. You can contact me for more on this.

IT employees of different companies made a protest against cauvery verdict at Bangalore yesterday. I had been there yesterday & now posting some highlights over here. We had requested governor to request central government to not bring this verdict in Gazette. After protest we had a meeting & here are some points:

1) We will fight until we get justice. This is just the beginning.
2) This new community will not only bound to Cauvery Issue, but also fight against injustice happening to Kannadigas in many areas.
3) Will fight against IT companies which are not allowing kannadigas for job openings.
4) Building a web site of its own.

I hope to see more & more people in next protest or meeting.
