GoaQoo.com - Ask Your Secret Questions!
Jan 28, 2010 02:05 PM

GoaQoo is a free and simple web application that allows users to ask anonymous questions from their friends. The identity of the person asking the question is fully protected, only the short description or nickname that is provided at the “Sender” item is disclosed to the Recipient. The e-mail of the sender is kept fully confidential and it is used only for notification purposes.


All the questions are confidential, only the sender and the recipients have access to it. They can be opened on a special, password protected web-page and the links and access codes are sent in private e-mails. No other person can open the questions and answers besides you and your friend.


For me it was a lot of fun to ask my friends questions without telling them who I really was. I've asked all those questions I avoided to ask personally, I got to know them better and I've got a lot of funny answers:)

Amazing telugu website for kids and adults
Apr 09, 2009 02:37 AM

This is the website - I am and will be talking/reviewing about. Ok.where do I begin? I was just speechless when I landed at this telugu website while searching for a lullaby called "rama laali megha shyama laali" in google.


In the kids section there is so much information which I was longing for to teach my kids/grandkids. It was just nostalgic to see those stories and padyams from my childhood, which by the way is about 48 years ago. And jumped off my chair and called my 6 yr ols grand daughter right away to take a look at the stories. She was amused - why grandpa is so happy.


One day she will know. Anyways, keeping that stuff aside, if one looks at look at the litterateurs section, folk arts section which by the way has become one of my favourite with those great folk art videos, music section which made my brain bloat with its amazing collection of light music and folk songs.


A peek into the mukhamukhi section brings out true flavours of the great personalities and carnatic music lessons. If you are a god fearing person and would like to read stotras, look in the stotramalika section. Just tonnes of sahasranamas, ashtottara, mantrapushpam, bhajans and what not. For adults, sataka literature, essays, samasya poorana, literary jokes are a feast. So folks, pls donot miss this website and keep visiting it. Looks like it gets updated very frequently, as I noticed quite a few new things on board from my last visit


Have fun and make your kids happy

Five of my Favourites
Oct 19, 2008 09:09 PM

Some websites That I like


http://www.worldisround.com


World is round . All know it but have you visited all the place. Its basically a photo sharing site but allows you to write your experiences about your travel too.  Explore the world. This is a very happening site with articles and photographs posted by their ever growing members. I came across this site accidentally when I was searching out for some details on how to visit Rajasthan and Hola I had a new world ahead of me. With interesting places and their photographs posted by people who had visited there sharing their amazing experiences.


Check my review in MS regarding this site


https://mouthshut.com/review/Worldisround.com-75988-1.html


http://www.indiamike.com


Another popular site I hope most of us would already be knowing about it. Very useful in case of a newcomer to India to know about where to travel what to see and how to travel here in India. Mostly useful for foreigners but you could become a local guide helping them out with their queries and giving in your valuable comments . The ultimate travel guide for India. Tourists would get a lot more to learn from this site. Most of the members of this site are


https://mouthshut.com/review/readproduct.php?cid=925052664&r=1



http://www.stumbleupon.com*


I have dedicated a post to this site as this is one of the sites that helps me spend my vacant time. StumbleUpon new sites that normally you wont reach using a search engine or any other way. Be surprised with new sites always.


http://www.crunchbase.com


This is a new site but still growing in size. It provides details of important websites, people, businesses and lot more that are available online. Do not forget to checkout details of your favourites sites. Whos idea it was who sold it who bought it for how much and all those details.


my.opera.com


Very Intersting and happening community. You would be amazed to know that the posts here get very good viewership and be sure that you would top the google search results for the item you have written a post in this site.


I am sure there are millions of websites out there and lots of them in the bookmarks of many of us but these are those which I checkout almost daily. I'll be glad if  you could put in your favourites in the comment box for others to view at.

New York United States of America
Review of NuWaay.org
Aug 16, 2008 08:28 PM

Upon first glance this website is mediocre and doesn't gain much attention. Many would reach for the x in the top right corner, however I decided not to judge a book by its cover. Through further inspection one would notice that the group isnt a registered nonprofit but performs benevolent acts for the communities and neighborhoods of New York City.


Users aren't harrassed to make a donation but are quickly prompted to visit the free forum section. In this section, viewers can become members and "voice" (as the website says) their problems in their area, rather their concerns that they feel affect the community in sort of a malicious way. Members are also asked to aid in decided where the money earned/donated is to be designated.


The idea sounds great and promising , although I believe american express has a similar promotion and they are nation wide. But I guess two good things are better than one.

Jun 22, 2008 01:01 PM

Five best websites in so many sites? Ha! Ha! Ha! its a joke. In so many million websites how its possible to choose five websites?


I am using internet since about 10 years and have visites many sites I found interesting and would like many of them to be revisited but there are only 24 hours and I have to do many things in a day!


Even then I will list five sites which I normally visit and why.

  1. http://www.google.com  To search anything on net which I am in need of.

  2. http://www.rediff.com For reliable and fast news service.

  3. http://www.sarvottam-marathi-vinod.blogspot.com For daily dose of a clean marathi joke to make my head lighter after daily zanzut of life!

  4. http://www.yahoo.com I like the site for no reasons.

  5. http://www.timesofindia.com I read it online.

  6. http://www.moneycontrol.com to keep updated on stocks.

  7. http://www.irctc.co.in The site for railway reservations.

Ohhhhhhhh its more than five but there are so many sites which can replace these five sites I have listed.

Best Websites which is Useful for a common Indian
Feb 22, 2008 11:51 AM

When talking about five best websites there are lots them in this internet world. before starting my rating on any website, I will give you a website which will help you to find the status or ranking of a website. it is https://alexa.com this is the only authorised company who rate the traffic of a website. According to alexa Yahoo is ranked No 1, google is 2nd, wikipedia is 9th and orkut is 10th and our mouthshut.com is 10, 286th ranked.


I will categorise 5 most best and useful websites.


*NO 1 : Google [https://google.com]


*Every one loves google. internet itself is sometimes made of google. to know A to Z information first thing we will type in our browser is google.com and will do the search. besides search it gives more resources like gmail, orkut, google earth, picasa etc. Definitely google is the NO : 1.


*NO 2 : wikipedia [https://wikipedia.org]


             **Wikipedia should be the next most useful one. if we dont know a place or thing or anything just type it in wikipedia.org and it will give you all information. wikipedia has subsidiary websites like wikitravel which is an excellent one for travellers. it is the one of the best


*NO 3 : National portal of india [https://india.gov.in]


Surprised why I choose this website!!!!. Yes this website is the national website of india which will give you all most all information regarding indian government administration. for example how many of us know how to apply for a passport, birth certificate, ration card, electricity and water connection, file income tax returns and many other government related things ?. If you dont know any one or more which I mentioned above just visit https://india.gov.inand this website will give you the answer.


*NO 4 : IRCTC [https://irctc.co.in]


*            Most people in india travel by trains and ticket booking is one of the nightmare. we need to stand in queue for a long time, run for coins for change. indian railway has designed this website for those who travel. use this website to book ticket and avoid queue. this is another useful and best websites.


*NO 5 : Mouthshut [https://mouthshut.com.


*Next  website is our mouthshut.com. why I choose mouthshut is it will give us a chance to speak out. long before customers never get a chance to open their mouth unless some will go at consumer court. but this wonderful website has given a chance to speak out. thanks mouthshut and faisal.


So here are the few best and useful websites. I know some of you like yahoo, orkut, icici etc. but the websites mentioned above is useful for anyone. hence I avoid other sites. if mouthshut give me an oppurtunity to write 10 or 20 best websites I have few more.


Thanks to mouthshut,


Anil kumar

Best Animation sharing video website
Jan 28, 2008 08:23 PM

I am 26 now and all these years I had been yearning for a website which would air just animation videos. From all round the world. Of course there was youtube but I wanted an exclusive site which would have just animation videos, all types of animation videos; Cartoons, 3d, claymation etc. and I guess my prayers were answered. I came across a website called


http://www.toonio.com


Man, certainly worth checking out. It can be called animation youtube as well cause functionality wise its simply the same however the idea I guess is exclusivity. I saw a couple of cool claymation clips made by some Indian students and I must confess, If there is Talent, Its in India.


Speed wise, the site is pretty fast and the best part is the simplicity, The site is well designed and will appeal one and all.


Usability wise, the site is very user friendly and follow a definitive pattern which makes it easier for even a layman. I guess it was made for layman himself and not techies.


All in all Im happy...whenever I wanna satisfy by primitive side...I head towards toonio.


Check it out:)

Mumbai India
Best Online Shopping Site!!!!
Oct 13, 2007 02:07 AM

When I first logged on to the internet about 6 yrs ago I did not have


the faintest idea that people would be actually swiping their cards or


making payments using email accounts(paypal) one day, to buy and sell


stuff on the internet. Then I came to know about eBay.the first


online shopping site which swept the world off its feet and then there


was a revolution which changed the meaning of "buying" and


"selling".Suddenly everything was online.


I enjoyed my  part of the fun of being a seller and buying a lot of


stuff through eBay. no doubt eBay revolutionalized selling and buying


and is still considered the no1 online shopping site in the world.


However, somehow the whole idea about auctioning, buying and selling on


eBay became very difficult as the website further developed and grew in


terms of members and its features, now I find everything so confusing


on ebay. also there are the charges which I feel are too costly for a


small seller like me. hence I decided hunt for new online shopping


sites like "uShops" and my review today is based on this site.


Its still a new site compared to ebay in terms of members and the no of


transactions but has a lot of potential for the future.The  site is


like a virtual mall where sellers open up shops and list their items in


the shop. The shop can be of anything except products forbidden from


listing under their terms and policies. The seller can also attach a


banner of his SHOP and ake public annoucements from time to time for eg


: for giving discounts


I particularly liked the site as it looks like a no nonsense site in


terms of design which is topnotch. The design is clean and the site is


very user friendly. also the site has a catalogue page which have high


resolution pictures of latest and older products and the catalogue


keeps getting updated everytime a user lists a new product. They also


have a ne feature where users can search for a product through a color


pallette on the site. The Blog and Forum are interesting and neat. The


customer service in terms of the quality of response and the time taken


to reply is just great. You can report bugs, errors, suggestions and


questions acc to their categories or just simply interact with other


sellers on the ushops forum. You can also comment on a product and give


it a thumbs up or thumbs down or mark an item as intersting. It also


has my account link where users can see the items they are


selling, items sold and other such features.


Of course nothing in the this world is free and so even ushops charges


and nominal fee of 10% when you sell a product which is nothing when


compared to bigger sites like ebay which have started charging even for


listing and highlighting items on their site.


Members keep getting newletters every month updating them on the latest


developments and future features about the site. In all ushops is a gr8


site whith a unique idea and has a great deal to offer in the future.:)

Herndon United States of America
Entertainment Unplugged !
Mar 19, 2007 02:48 AM

*Well different people find different sources to amuse their idle hours away. Not every source can get so enthralling that not just the idle hours but the ones after the idle hours which should have been spent working also get dragged into the amusement time.



Well for a computer nerd like me, internet provides that option other than my other favourites TV and movies. The percentage of my free time gets divided between the three as Internet(95%), TV(4%) and movies(1%).


The best 5 websites which I found most intriging are as follows however may not be in order of preference:


1. Orkut.com: Its right there, staring at you on your face. The sooner you fall into the temptations, the better for


you. This vastly popular website is even better than its contemporaries like Hi5 etc due to its ease of use, a very soothing colour and the ease with which you can get in touch with old lost friends.


Well you love it . you hate it . but you can most definitely not ignore it! Orkut is here to stay.


2. Peekvid.com:< One of the most awesome websites, my personal favourite . make way for the ultimate in entertainment. Peekvid.com. You can watch videos online. Its a bit similar to youtube but then in Peekvid you cannot upload you own videos. But the advantage is the videos present there are much more vast and organised to help you find just what you need in a very short span of time.


3. Mouthshut.com: One of its kind website where you get a voice and people rate your voice according to the content of your writings. You can become a critic and all you have to do is register for free. From movies to books, from hotels to banks . just name the thing you want to write on and you will find it there.


Just in case you do not find your product, you can always suggest it.


4. Google.com( includes the search engines, mail and others): For all the popularity of different websites, only google is one which can give all the other websites popularity graph a run for their money.


Their mail is fast, spam free and extremely user friendly.


Their messenger is very light( although it misses the yahoo creativity in the messenger part) .


Even the google maps, videos, language tools etc have taken the internet world by storm. Being new to the US, I never leave home without taking a print out of the exact way to the destination I want to go to.


Youtube needs a speacial mention, since google bought it due to its immense growing popularity.


You can watch, upoload and search for videos, trailors etc on this website. Although not as organised as peekvid this definitely needed a mention.


5. Yahoo.com: Here is a biggie. a giant who cannot be shaken by come what may. Here is to yahoo . although there has been some problems recently with the new versions of its messengers but on still cannot write down this website. Maps, search engines, weather, stocks, blogs, build your own websites etc etc .


Yahoo needs to concentrate a little less on expanding its horizons and a little more on how to stabilise their current products.


Now that its out . my personal favourite 5 . I would think it would still make google a winner as Orkut, Youtube and Google are all owned by Google.com .


I would like to pat the backs of their creators who actually got to their imaginative best to actually succeed in coming onto my personal favourite 5s.


6. https://healthcaremagic.com, which is a complete ONLINE Hospital. there u can interact with ONLINE group od doctor yeah u can Live chat with Doctors, as we talks with our friends through G-talk or Messenger and we can discuss all our problem in internet itself from office/home
