Just in from my friends at Joost….if any beta testers are reading this…could you pass me an invite?

This is hillarious….Dell recommends Windows Vista Business but is packaging Windows Vista Home Basic with its Business Desktops. What do you call that? Strategy to net the aspirational, price conscious, ill informed SME indian entrepreneur.
And yeah, if you missed the fine print, this wouldnt include half the WOW factor…the Aero interface!

Got this email from Indiatimes today….and am baffled….not surprised, not astounded….but baffled! I haven’t logged onto my Indiatimes email for over 3 years (the email mentions 3 months) and Indiatimes wants to do a springclean…the question i’m still grappling with is….to what benefit?
“In the next few days, we will be launching a host of new services, and would need to delete mail ids which have been lying dormant and have not been used for a long time.”
How hard is it to learn from the mistakes of the past..mistakes made by popular mail portals, who dictated terms to users - ‘no more than 250 contacts, 2 MB is all you get….maybe 10MB is what we’ll give you….sign in every 90 days or you lose your ID…’ … this list was pretty endless…and in walked google and swept away the heavy users… who didnt wanted to be dictated terms….is this a novel way of getting users to sign in to indiatimes mail again? Tough luck buddy….i don’t give a flying one about your mail….
As an experiment i’m not going to log in to indiatimes (i’ve only used them to shop for airtickets in the past and have a couple of carrots to my credit .. nothing substantial)….lets see what i miss out on…i’m reasonably sure its not going to be anything worth dying for….
Appended below is the email from Indiatimes….

Dear Member,
We are delighted to have you as a part of the Indiatimes mail family. But we have noticed that, for some reason, you have not used your Indiatimes mail for over 3 months!!
In the next few days, we will be launching a host of new services, and would need to delete mail ids which have been lying dormant and have not been used for a long time.
To retain your id and to continue accessing your Indiatimes mail – with a far better experience, please log on to http://mail.Indiatimes.com today. Start using the mail once again and get ready to get surprised!
Looking forward to your continued support and patronage.
Thank you!
