thats interesting you mention the upcoming competitors Chet, only because I am composing my dissertation and questioning “how real the internet has become” and whats left to achieve, what are your thoughts on that?

Absolutely! Facebook turned 5 this week so in web terms it’s ancient now and Twitter is the new kid on the block. I predict a video version of Twitter to take over and there already are some contenders to this. It’s all good fun

Comment on Why does it take an economic recession to get good customer service? by _ram-jaane'

I think the deal here is such …

In most of the jobs I have worked, the employer hires a number of staff to cater for the handling of customers. This number is on par with or pushing limits of how many customer requests are handled in a certain time-frame. So, when push comes to shove, the staff are stressed & over-worked.

In your car sales-person scenario. If say there is only 1 person present & 2 customers, it only makes sense that they prioritize the larger of the sales. If 7 customers come in, the goal changes .. all the staff-member is thinking is how to lose them all.

If you’ve been bored with no people, you’re actually happy to see one customer. It does make sense.

I used the iPhone extensively for texting to see how good it is and sure FAIL. I wasnt impressed at all with the onscreen keyboard. Infact hated it.

@Ritesh – yes in the West too it’s the coffee shops that have embraced this from a long while back like Starbucks. They allow you to sit and work from there provided I guess you’re buying coffee regularly.

@Reetesh – Singapore is amazing. They’ve had free wifi in their airport for many many years and it just makes so much sense doesn’t it?

I too agree completely! PSP with its inbuilt Wifi Support helped me a lot in my recent SG-KL trip, where every mall had free wifi(in SG, the whole country has free wifi for tourists!), also, Airports had ‘free’ wifi.

It was really helpful for me, as I was able to use google & its currency conversion options to get correct idea relating to US/India/SG prices.

I left that place wishing that India would one day become that good in infrastructure!

Quite a few places in Bombay have started free WiFi access. The barista at Phoenix Mills surely has it, but none of the cafe shops in Bandra have free WiFi.

Though I totally agree with ya – If we have free Wifi at Malls, shopping would be so much fun
