Source : Time of India

PUNE: A group of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) under Pune Nagrik Sanghatana (PNS) has appealed citizens and activists to contest civic general election 2012 as its candidates.
Fuelled by Anna Hazare's anti-corruption agitation that evoked huge public response across the country, PNS feels it stands a chance to cleanse the system.
"The PNS will contest the 2012 civic election. The objective is to accomplish goals of clean politics and people-centric governance. PNS will select, screen and support worthy, clean, ethical and socially committed candidates. Those who want to contest polls under our banner should contact on 9823117434 or mail to punens@gmail.com," said Vivek Velankar, one of the founder members of the organisation.

SEO Tips to improve your website's rank

Ashish Kulkarni   

Director, Web Design Glasgow Ltd.

Giving your site the ratings that it needs to draw in the business you desire means getting your search engine optimization on the right path. If you aren't optimizing your site, you could just be operating a site that no one knows about, which doesn't do you any good. Use these SEO tips for a better understanding and greater opportunity in search engine optimization of your website online.

Do not focus heavily on using your business name as a tag when it comes to search engine optimization. Except for large, widely known companies, most users do not search for a specific company when doing blind searches. Include your business name in your metadata fields, but it is not necessary to weight it or otherwise move it higher in your tag structure.

Idea Factory : Small Idea Big Impact

Now most of the malls or retail outlets have some kind of loyalty card to earn points on every shopping you do.  If they also introduce a group loyalty card then  group can earn points on any purchase made by any group member.  This can be redeemed for group parties at particular food joint or some gift which can be collectively used by group members e.g. talk time among group members, birthday gift to any member etc.

For ease existing card holders can make group and get group ID, on every purchase they will get extra points under group ID as well without affecting their individual points.

How is it different from current individual loyalty program –

Outlet attracts the group rather than an individual. Imagine college friends making a group and doing shopping only from particular retail outlet.

Members become isolated from competition as inside group people are buying from one outlet only so you reduce the exposure of competitive brands within the group. It is a big impact as buyers do impulsive buying by seeing friends.

If you put more thoughts you can think of many benefits and also many ways to redeem group points.

Nasscom Product Conclave Outreach Workshop on 8th November 2011

Pick up the paper on any given day and you’ll read about another failed product or technology. At the same time, other technology products catch fire and become wildly successful. What makes the difference? Typically, the root cause is not a poorly conceived product. The culprit is simple. Those that successfully capitalize on a new product or market inflection point have a compelling, thought-provoking, engaging story and execute an effective go-to-market strategy That’s it. However, very few technology companies are effectively able to translate their product IP and features into a message that resonates with buyers and captures the imagination of the market. Or execute a long strategy that makes an impact in the market.

GO GREEN PUNE - Comman byke/bus/car pool platform

Each of us always promote CarPool in our company, for its obvious advantages to enviroment, traffic, parking issues and many more. We are taking this one step further. In our current systems which each company maintains carpool is only possible via CAR and between employess of the same company. There are location complexity as well. There is also cost sharing communication problems. Another comman problem is high cost our employees need to bear when they take a taxi becuase its not easy to share.
