Inter-linking of social sites...
Recently I observed a trend of which I have been also a part - inter-linking of our digital online presence. Most of the sites are now-a-days compatible with each other where you can link them each other. You can post links of your other sites on a site. Like my pownce account where I have put most of my "other" site presence. Or my digg profile. The list can go on. Also another trend is where you have sites like ClaimId where you can claim your online digital content or MicroID which is of the same. A brave new "new media" world have started
Mittal, Ambanis in Forbes top 10 list
Recognition of Wealth creation and success of Indians. This shows that Indians have finally arrived on the global scene.The biggest indicator is The mega global acquisition by Indian companies like Corus by Tatas, Accelor by Mittals(though strictly not an India based firm) , Luxury car brands Jags and Land Rover to be acquired by Tatas again. This is but a few example. The list goes on like Mahindras, Ranbaxy,etc. We can say that the "Golden Age" of Indian economy is back which has been growing at a steady rate of 8 to 9% year on year, even though not at the spread of Chinese economy. Only blooper in the party is the recession in U.S. as lot of company are dependent on the U.S. economy. But then thats true for whole of the world :)

Tata's new "Peoples Car - Nano" launched
Ratan Tata kept his promise.Tata delivered on its promise and launched the "People's Car" or should I say "Common man's Car" in 1 lac despite lot of detractors. Now dream to own a car is much closer to reality for lot of people :).
Well actual cost comes higher than a lac when taxes are included.
Tatas have come out with 3 variants - Standard, Deluxe and Luxury. And the best part is that the last two variants have AC in them which lot of detractors said would not be possible. In fact nano has already changed the dynamics of the auto industry and will have a huge impact on the auto market in india.
Tata have also launched a website also.
Here are some pictures of nano from the site:
The Standard Version:
The Luxury Version:
