Cricfeeds – A really cool but old Indian site

I wanted to write about a site which I discovered today. It’s called cricfeeds. It’s an Indian site. And to start off with the review I will saw just one word brilliant. This site creates a ball by ball virtual simulation of a live cricket match. It will show you the whole stadium and will show all fielders with tiny labels indicating their names. A ton of customizations are also available for the game. The reason I told it’s brilliant because before seeing this site I had no idea that even such a thing is possible. A search on the whole web via firefox add-on similarweb did’t turn any positive result. Which make me think this site is ingenious and unique . And a true invention out of India made me feel really good.

I did’nt have a chance to watch a live match on this site but the demo which I saw itself was quite promising. The site is on live for quite sometime now and it is alexa ranked at 25k range. A lot of websites including indirocks,cricket fundas have already embedded the application in their websites.I checked out the T20 worldcup final on Indyrocks site. It has nice features to chat while watching. An inset view. As well as options to share with your friends. Really cool app.

One day you go to the bathroom and find out your detergent and shampoo are over. And you are frustrated about yourself. Here comes alice to address this exact problem. alice comes from the founders of social shopping network Jellyfish (bought by Microsoft in 2007). When you sign on it will ask about inhabitants in your house (Adult female, adult male, female child , male child , toddlers and infants ) . Once you select that it will take you to a page where you can make choice about your household usage items over seven categories (Bathroom, office, medicine cabinet, laundry room , cleaning closet, pantry , nursery kitchen ) . And on the basis of all these info it will remind you when your stock of toothpaste is going to get over via e-mail. (To be very frank , this is height of technology.) And then you can choose your favorite brand from the very wide range what they have to offer for every product. And alice offers everything at a discounted rate without even charging for shipping. On their product range I found out 83 varieties of toilet paper J . I can say this is of no use to we Indians as we don’t use toiler papers at all!!

The service is really intuitive and brilliant but they do not provide service outside US .

The second website is thismoment an inventive new platform for people to save and share their life’s Moments .It comes from the with the The New York Times, Time Inc., and People Magazine on board.

This is a the site which will make you forget putting your photos on picasa/flicker , your memorable moments in your blog and videos on youtube .Now you can put all your stuff together and share with your friends . You create your account and state your moments, add text, pics and videos. And all your friends can see it at once. This is a great website for sharing all your best moments with your family and friends. The GUI is intuitive and clean. And the presentation will actually tempt you to share all your special stories. Lifeblob the Indian site launched more than a year ago tries to do the same thing. But thismomemt according to me is way ahead in the game. You can link your twitter , facebook, picasa accounts bringing all your updates from across the web together. Looking forward to meet you guys on thismoment.

Happy webbing !!!
