Whats App Down - The Possible Reasons Behind The Outage

2014-02-24T04:18:00.000-08:00

Facebook acquisition of Whats app actually has proved to be more of a huge marketing blast for the hottest IM around here. The downside was that the service totally collapsed for approx. 210 minutes and later on they fixed this issue and has resolved it. Whats App however confirmed this with a tweet “sorry we currently experiencing server issues. we hope to be back up and recovered shortly.”

So now is the right time for Facebook to act upon the server side support as well as for any further technical needs for the world's favourite Instant Messenger

Whats App has faced many server downside for every month or two for the last half year and can't say whats the impression on Facebook this server downside has brought about.

Well the No ads policy for whatsapp is the only thing so much promising but how long can an instant messenger survive without any promising financial revenue model.

But better off Whats app has returned and let's say together "Whats App??"

Well Techcrunch responded with some funny images .

Milano Ice Cream Kochi

2014-02-22T02:56:00.001-08:00

Just came to know about Milano Ice Cream, the famous Italian Gelatto here in Kochi. Their new outlet was recently opened on 21 st February 2014 at KK Road Kaloor, Kochi near to French Toast. I was accidentally pulled to the shop and what to say...

Well to get the water running in your mouths, let me start

1. The shop's ambiance is lovely and is definitely one of the best

2. Since its just 2-3 days running we had a good audience in there all enjoying the best of the Milano, We went in there a bit confused, But the flavours unit which held all the ice creams looked really amazing . It had almost all the good essential flavours too, Which includes the Oreo, some tiramisu flavour, mango, cereal, and my favourite the dark chocolate.

3. We waited till the bearer was free to take in our order. We had a plan to sit there and enjoy, but my friend on watching these exotic flavoured gelatos we changed our mind to get a take away of 500 gm on any 3 flavours.

4. She packed us 3 flavours which included the dark chocolate, the cereal and the Oreo.

5. Well after packing she gave us our extra cups and spoons and then we took off to enjoy it and what to say guys. Kudos to their Service

Its really amazing and different. Its all abut the texture of the ice cream that is the best. I could really feel its smoother and the taste felt across very naturally.

There is value for money too . But eventually for the best taste; money doesn't count. Isn't it ?

For those of you who actually don't know the difference between Gelato and Ice cream do check this one out
ice-cream-vs-gelato

Well if you are out there you should definitely check this one out and hit there at Milano Ice Creams to see the the main difference.
