Monetizing Free SMS

There would have been lots of instances, you have been irritated by the tele sales callers offering loans and credit cards, when you need them the least. Not to say anything about their timing, when you expect a call from some one special or when getting anointed by your manager.

It's a complete waste of time,wondering how the hell they get your numbers?

Not to mention your mobile carrier, which has the holy right to bug you for the caller tunes and some other offers that you will obviously not be interested.

Once you felt that you could not be bullied or harassed with all these calls, since you have registered in the DNC, there lurks in another evil.

Unsolicited Messages asking your attention for PAN cards, web designs and lots of other stuffs that you saw in public toilets and closed your eyes.
Again your mobile carrier and your bank sends messages on their promotional offers.

Still Wouldn't you agree that it is non-intrusive?

More similar to google ad's that appear in the side of the search!
More similar to the ad that you see while you chat or check your mail in yahoo!
May be the apt one will be the mails that you recieve in your inbox, caused you signed up to recieve the promotional mails from their partners, so you can enjoy the free mail.

Well why don't the mobile carriers take a leaf out of this model and make money for themselves?
When the sites like way2sms.com and indyarocks are already making money already letting their customers to send free SMS over your bandwidth.

Why not the mobile carriers make money for themselves, when they let others to make money making use of them?

Could they come up with possible Win-Win scenario to the customer as well as to themselves!

why not?

Ask the customer to Sign up for the free SMS program
Once the customer has signed up he/she will be able to send Free SMS.
For every free SMS being sent by the customer, the customer shall recieve an ADvertisement message.
The carrier could charge the company whose advertisement is being sent by messages.

Well now the customer is being able to send free messages.
The carrier receives money for the messages sent by the customer from the advertisement message.

Where is the win scenario for the advertiser?
What if, after receiving the message, the customer just chooses to delete the message even with out reading it?
Oh you mean just like, surfing other channels while the advertisment runs in the middle of the movie or the match, or not clicking the google ads that appear in the side of the search or deleting the promotional mail that lies in your inbox just by reading the subject heading.
(Point made that it has always been a challenging task to the marketers to catch the eye balls of the targeted audience irrespective of the advertisement media used)

Surprisingly, here the idea could be tweaked a little bit to get the eye balls of the targetted audience.
the reciever of the SMS could be made to read the SMS ,recieved only after reading Advertisement.(i.e the receiver receieves the advertisement instead of the sender)

Wont the receiver get too much annoyed by the ad messages (apart from the irritating forwards and sweet nothing messages), just because you are getting a free ride on the expense of the others

Well the reciever too could return the favor by signing up to the same program and return the favor(revenge sweet revenge, revenue sweet revenue for the carrier)

Annoying Airtel

Airtel, One of the largest communication company in India. Agreed, Still I wonder why these people never get certain basic things right. (Nah I am not talking about the IVR Interactive voice response system, poor customer service, Billing Issues, I shall post about them later, when i could think rationally rather than carried away by emotion. My blood begins to boil, when i think about them.)

1. They don't have a contact email id, in their contact us page. (or for that matter, anywhere in their website in an easily accessible manner.)
2. They could specify in home page, which browser and the resolution suits well for their website. (Say Best viewed in IE 6.0 and 800X600 resolution) Especially their pop ups.
3. The online registration. You should specify a username and your mobile number in the initial registration form. You will get a password. You should login. There you will get another registration form with other questions. Only then you would be successful. I really wonder why this two step process. Is it to ensure that the person has a valid airtel connection? Can't they ensure from their database is it a valid number, eligible for online registration. Why can't they welcome the customer with one single registration page?
4. Above all, Does at least the second registration post is fine with out bugs,The drop down menu for day in the date of birth is not working properly.

By the way have you ever tried , where you reach when you enter airtel.com

Note:
All this bugs/errors at the time of the blog post.
Being a software tester by profession, i wonder who the hell would be their technical service partner and how they could have signed off the User acceptance test. Damn the airtel CIO! :)

softician or software engineer

The thought trains got triggered and set on a journey after going through this article in outlook.

The scenario(emergence of softicians) is nothing new. This is the phase/stage that every industry goes through in its industrial life cycle. In product life cycle, each and every product goes through introduction, growth, maturity and decline. Similarly this is an inevitable stage that will happen in every industry when the demand supply balance is tested.

Say automobile industry or electronic industry, in earlier stages only engineers were there. Later when there were more vehicles more mechanics are there. Still even in automobile industry there is a life for engineers. In their ecosystem too, there are top designers, who specialize in engine design, fuel etc. there are engineers who oversee the production in factories. There are diplomas and mechanics who do the grunt (brunt) work.

Is this scenario new for our software industry? No not at all. In few companies I personally know people who are at the extreme ends of salaries though their position or designation is more or less the same. The salary depends on the side of the business they work. Do you work in application development or maintenance services or high cutting R & D.? The reality is such a hierarchy already does exist!!

If the existence of the hierarchy was not visible or one was not aware of them earlier, please give a big hand to the HR and the appraisal system of the organization. (Thou shall bang his/her head for the ignorance)

While talking about non computer science scientists making a jump over to the software, there are ample examples in Silicon Valley who have done successful crossovers. ( should I say about let us C by yeshwant kanetkar or is he to be blamed upon the existence for the shallowness for a mechanical engineer to write a C book which is followed in the most prevalent manner)

To answer the question, who will be on the bottom of pyramid?(or should the existing software engineer be scared about being turned to a softician?) Not the strongest, but the smartest will be on the top. It will neither be softicians nor software engineers but either the best softician or the best software engineer.

To elobarate, being a good programmer with all the skills won’t be sufficient if a good application can’t emerge out of it.

Even if one is not a good programmer, one could build a successful application with the skills of a softician, and could be on top of the pryramid.

It is all about what you do with your skills rather than the type of the skill

To cut a long story short, IT industry is also similar to any other industry. Just it is in the infancy stages, we don’t realize it. (Just like we don’t see the birth and death of the non living things like mountains)

Tomorrow’s world is neither for the generalists nor for the specialists but for versatilists!

P.S

Thanks to vinay for kickstarting the train of thoughts!

Remake of Nayagan

We all know that dasavatharam, kamal's upcoming movie faced lots of lawsuits. I guess kamal would have been fed up by it. He would also be praying hard that no other person in movie industry should suffer like this.

Still I think, he should sue this guy for making use of the nayagan title.

By the way, why does the political parties does not fight against the movies or dances like this ?

if you are wondering why all this, check out this youtube video!

CAUTION
Weak hearted people, do not visit.

உன்னை தேடி இங்கு வந்தேன் நடு வீதி தானடி
உன்னாலே தான் மனம் பித்தானது

Type அடிக்கும் ஓவியமே கை பிடிப்பாயோ?
உன்னாலே ஏங்கினேன் உள் மூச்சு வாங்கினேன்
பைத்தியம் ஆனதுக்கு வைத்தியம் நீயே
உன்னோட வாழனும் இல்லாட்டி சாகனும்
வெளியால வரனும் தரிசனம் தரனும்
அழகியே கிளியே திருவடி சரணம்
உருகாமா உருகி நான் ஓடா தேயறேன்

ராதா ஓஓ ராதா

தேவதாச போல நானும் பாட வேணுமா
உலகே மாயந்தான் வாழ்வே மாயந்தான்

Free local magazines Contd

After posting my previous post, i did the mail all the columnists mentioned there.
It was quite good and indeed was very happy to receive replies from all.
Balakumar of Talkmedia did reply a detailed mail which not only opened my eyes but also my thoughts.

It was very candid.

The highlights of the mail are

• As mentioned in the update of previous post, the columns are available online.
• Online advertising is not that successful in India as it is to be reported in India.
• Revenue model of Online Ads
• ROI for the media organizations to keep the net editions alive is neglible.
• Our customer is happy with the reach provided from print media.
• Lack of internet penetration

Look at yahoo and AOL, they are not profitable. May be you could call them dying dinasours. Still Microsoft wants to buy it. that too for $45 billion dollars. possibly even hike the offer.
At the same time google is still raking in money.(Will they be tomorrow's yahoo and AOL is altogether another interesting topic) Google does face controversies about its revenue from ads as well as ad click frauds

oh are we talking about India?
Local Commerce portal sulekha will enter capital market when they clock revenue of $30 million

So i feel it is all about the way the business is run, rather than the business model. May be the online advertising is not successful due to the lack of internet penetration.

ROI is neglible. Well this was the one that surprised me the most. Why i was having an understanding that it is possible to reduce the intermediate costs or make them disappear.

Reg the customer point of view, my point is mostly the customer never knows what he/she wants. ( did we ever ask for a walk man, or ipod?)

A strong word of caution, the above are my theoritical standpoints, possibly an illusionary one hallucinating with a myopic vision. When a person who goes through the grind day in and day out facing the an myriad of practical problems, it is better to listen to him

P.S
learnt a very big lesson, that i should do my research before i write! As well as i should learn to make a stand!

Free local magazines

On a sunday afernoon, having lots of things to do and doing nothing , was reading local free magazines like mambalam times and pillar talk. The train of thoughts were as follows:

Good Business Model:
Paper is for free. So nobody is gonna tell , i dont want this. ( we tamilians are fond of freebies, i guess the reality is all human beings are fond of freebies). For sure there is assured circulation.

This assured circulation helps in getting ads, which is the source of revenue for the paper.

Even for advertisers it is more of a focused marketing and can be very sure it reaches the right customers, or atleast the customers.

I was also very sure it is a very successful business venture, if not I wont be seeing it week after week.

Good Articles.
It also features good articles, quite hilarious. say the point blank by t r jawahar (trjawahar@vsnl.net), cranks corner by k balakumar (balakumarkb@gmail.com) in pillar talk
No holds barred by m.a sadanand , tamasha varigal by j.s raghavan(rankamala@yahoo.co.in)

Now the question for the good business model is,

Why aren't you online? Why is your magazine not available online?
You could make your magazine available online too.
You could charge your advertisers a fraction of money for being available online too.
apart from your regular advertisers, you could have lots of online ads too

The cost of running a website and the generated revenue from ads could be an extra source of revenue.

The question for the good writers,

Again,Why are these guys not online? i.e i mean on blogs or website( ahem agreed it is not necessary that all should have a website or write blogs, still why shouldnt they ? the technology is within the reach and is available for them.

Blogs or online media is just another way of reaching out to people, or just another ego trip mentioned by jawahar in this week's point blank column.

Guys, online media has arrived and is here to stay. The day is not faraway it could be a main stream media. at least for now, you should supplement your main stream media with this online media.
p.s
I ended up with this blog post, thinking to write a blog post about tamil writers and their blog posts. Hope that will follow through shortly :)

Update:
jawahar's and balakumar's column are available @ http://newstodaynet.com/ and J.S raghavan's column @ http://70.87.196.226/annanagartimes/

Friend Or Girl Friend

Ever been in a confusion , whether a girl you know is "just a friend who is a girl" or the so called "Girl Friend."

Here we go with ten differences between them( not necessarily in this order)

Friend is somebody who says "Hi" to you.
Girl Friend is somebody who expects you to say a "HHHiiiii"

Friend will feel glad,if you say, "hey you look cool ya"
Girl Friend will feel bad, if you don't say "hey you look cool ya"

Friend will feel bad, if you ogle or drool at her.
Girl Friend will pretend to feel bad, if you ogle or drool at her.

Friend will pull your legs,if you ogle, drool at other girls.
Girl friend will break your legs, even if you look at a girl.

Friend is the one, who laughs at your wisecracks and shows face to your dumb dialogues.
Girl Friend is the one, who expects you to laugh even for the most dumbest dialogues by her and shows face to your wisecracks.

Friend is the one, who gives you the liberty to cut her off in the middle of the conversation.
Girl Friend is the one, who cuts you off in the middle of the conversation.

Friend wont worry to spend some money for you as well as when you spend money for your girl friend.
Girl Friend is the one who worries when she spends money for you as well as when you spend for your friends.

Friend is the one who lets you to brag about your culinary skills.
Girl Friend is the one who expects you to brag about her culinary skills.

Friend wont mind, you sitting behind her in a two wheeler.
Girl Friend is the one sneers at you for your inability to drive a two wheeler.

Friend is the one, who reads this and says either "Very good" or "very bad".
Girl Friend is the one, who shouts, "How dare you write such stuff about girls?"

And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!
-Rudyard Kipling

Similarly
The happiness that you get when you make fun of others
The sadness that you get when others make fun of you,
Both are impostors, treat them the same :)


நாம மத்தவங்கள வச்சு Comedy பண்றப்ப வர்ற சந்தோசம்
மத்தவங்க நம்மள வச்சு Comedyபண்றப்ப வர்ற சோகம்
ரெண்டும் மாயை!

Zen Of Zeno

There is no social service with out self service.

P.S
People who do social service also do it for their self satisfaction.

இரகசிய சினேகிதிக்காக

வாழ்த்தி வழி
அனுப்பாத வலி

சேர்ந்தாயா செத்தாயா
கேக்காத சோகம்

நலமா நாசமா
விசாரிக்காத வருத்தம்

குரல்கேளா கஷ்டம்
பார்வைப்படா பஞ்சம்

அவஸ்தைகள் அனைத்தும்
பஞ்சாய் பறந்தது

எப்படி இருக்கிறாய்?
எப்பொழுது வந்தாய்?

பாவை பகர்ந்த
பரிவான வார்த்தைகளில்

இரகசிய சினேகிதிக்காக

பிறவிப் பயனையும்
பேரின்பத்தையும் பெற்றது
என் iPhone
உன் பெயர்
ஒளிர்ந்த போதும்
உன் குரல்
ஒலித்த போதும்!

Orkut Offline

With the world going flatter day by day, People in the organization are distributed across the world in different locations, at different hours yet still working in the same team, same project and same organization.

How do you bring them all together in a common network? Interactions does takes place over phone, via mail, via chat, via IM.

Well,Sure it all helps and contributes towards connecting them.

Does it all helps to bond effectively?

Does it takes us towards effective networking?

Still isn't there a missing link?

Why not a place for them, Where they can put up a profile, put up their picture, share their interests, likes, dislikes, leave a message now and then, create polls? create communities, ask them their opnions, discuss stuff.

Well, if you havent guessed I am talking about a social networking site for organizations.

Nah i am not talking about creating another me too social networking site.

How about customizing the available social networking sites available for the organizations on their intranet?

Organizations can have their very own mail servers, can have their very own wiki's, can even have windows messenger customized for them, can have their very own blogs.

Aren't there softwares and tools which are readily available for them to build all these? Wordpress offers blogging software. Microsoft offers mail services and IM services. Lots of wiki available on the net.

Why not a software/tool where some one can build their very own social networking site meant for an organization?

May be google will offer orkut offline while Microsoft daydreams about mindshare by acquiring yahoo!

P.S
I have never used facebook. I use orkut just to keep in touch with buddies.

Thou Shall Not be Perfect

In last year Macworld Expo, Apple announced i phone.In this year's Macworld expo inspite of having announced a light weight laptop, trying to revolutionize movie industry just like they did for music industry, still people dont give a damn to it.It's stock fell by six percent.

Once you become perfect, people stop noticing your perfectness and you get noticed only for your imperfectness.

Say you come well dressed everyday nobody gives a damn , once when you come shabby everybody notices.
At the same time you come shabby all time and you come well dressed people notice, give you a compliment. your effort gets noticed.

As the quality of things go up, expectations rise up which are so hard to meet.(Most of the times Never met)

To be Perfect is not somethin to be proud of!

Rather than striving for perfection, Be scared about being perfect :)
