<p>These Accelerators actually optimize the browser experience by removing repetitive, time consuming actions and giving easy access to the online services they use most. These accelerators are available just for Internet Explorer 8 version at the <a href="http://www.ieaddons.com" target="_blank">Internet Explorer 8 Add-ons Gallery</a>.</p>
<p>Also, it has to be noted that this has nothing to do with speedier browser or so but making common tasks much faster that people actually do in four browsers: Safari 4.0, Chrome 2.0 beta, Firefox 3.5 beta 99 and Internet Explorer 8. So, Accelerators are making things fast so one can accomplish tasks on the sites that they use every day.</p>

<p>Viewer discretion is advised before viewing the video:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="400" height="322" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4GQ0JoayTzk&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="322" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4GQ0JoayTzk&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Above all, what fall short in this video is humanity and compassion that you wont find in anyone this video even who is taking this video and probably posted it on Youtube. If seen carefully, the dieing man seems to be taking breath earlier and vomiting out blood, even than no body cares of healing him or dropping to hospital.</p>

This feature will allow users to chat in real time with their friends on Dhingana. Apparently, its a first Indian social platform to launch the community IM feature in first week of May in partnership with Meebo.</p>
<p>Apart from chatting with other users on Dhingana, the Community IM feature also allows users to chat with all their friends from a variety of other networks like Yahoo!, Gmail, AOL, Facebook, Twitter, Hotmail etc. Users can also share music albums, songs, playlists, videos with their friends with just 2 clicks using the nice built in &#8220;share&#8221; feature.</p>
<p>Meebo with its <a href="http://www.meebo.com/communityim/">Community IM! Meebo</a> is partnering with leading online communities such as Piczo, Flixter and yaari.com to deliver free, integrated, Web-based instant messaging (IM) to users. Meebo Community IM is designed to facilitate live interaction and real-time conversations between members of online communities such as social media, gaming, and blog networks.</p>
<p>Although when I tried it personally over Firefox/ Vista, I had problem in signing in and status shows as offline. I believe though that its quite good mixture of IM along with music, songs and playlist sharing.</p>

Wapr.com</a> - its is perhaps the most recent entrant in business &amp; professional networking portals in India. Its a bit different portal in its niche, providing some really nice features for both companies and professionals as their different user-base and targeting them differently.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.indianweb2.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/iprobook.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-558" style="border:1px solid #e3e3e3; padding:2px; margin:10px 0 5px 0;" title="Professional networking sites in India" src="http://www.indianweb2.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/iprobook.gif" alt="Professional networking sites in India" width="423" height="156" /></a></p>
<p style="margin-top:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e3e3e3;padding-bottom:10px;"><strong>iProBook</strong> - This is one professional networking portal yet to be released though i found its underground URL from google here as <a href="http://star.vinove.com/~sandbox/labs/ipro_book/index.php" target="_blank">iProbook in Labs</a>. The portal has clean and user friendly UI and plenty of good interactive features and all about creating and managing your business/ professional networks. What impressed me is its clean UI and use of ajax scripts at perfect places.</p>
<p style="margin-top:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #e3e3e3;padding-bottom:10px"><a href="http://toostep.com" target="_blank">TooStep</a> is yet another professional community portal, however it gives an impression of some portfolio management tool or so, reason being fragmented UI and its content element. The portal is more about building community of professional and exchange, discuss, debate about topics, ideas etc.</p>

<p>The project natal is still in its early stage and development is under going along with the content such as more games and activities to be done through this technology. Microsoft has also filed patent in US patent office of &#8220;motion sensor that makes use of face recognition software and biometrics&#8221;.</p>

<p>Apparently in India before Sify there seems to be only one IPv6 enabled website which is - <a href="http://ipv6.bits-pilani.ac.in/" target="_blank">IPv6 test network at BITS, Pilani</a>, though not being commercial, Sify now become one of the first such service for public.</p>
<p>IPv6 fixes a number of problems in IPv4, such as the limited number of available IPv4 addresses along with other improvements such as routing, networking and auto configuration.</p>
<p>From now onwards, Sify&#8217;s entire suite of IP connectivity services, including Internet access to enterprise customers and MPLS-based IP-VPN services are IPv6 enabled. This ensures that Sify&#8217;s customers can transition and migrate from a basic IPv4 based network service to IPv6 Next Generation Network with dual-stack i.e. IPv6 &amp; IPv4 support.</p>
