XML Talk@twincling

On Last saturday(14th of july), i gave a talk on XML and technologies in Twincling society whose motive is to develop and promote open source software products. You can find the slides here. The session went very good as the response from audience and i covered xml, dtd, schema and namcespaces. But the other technologies like xpath, xlink, xslt, etc are not able to covered due to time limitation. My special thanks to Saifi, Sumit, Namita Iyer and other active members of twincling society to give me an opportunity to share my knowledge.

I heard about this search engine company many days back. Yesterday they have started a contest " search and win". I played the contest my referral link is here.

But i didn't get the idea behind this contest. Do they want to show off their product to the outer world? I still feel that Its relatively impossible to find accurate data particularly for indian(or any country) content. They may have taken assumptions based on geographic, IP based, or content related, or what ever it may be... there is no proper way to categorize the data that its belonging to particular place. A person working in Canada( born and bought up in India) may want to write his daily musings/happenings may be in canada or india or what ever he wants. I am still wondering how many of users would be interested in to search for India related content (especially in this globalized world).

Update:
I won a T-Shirt playing on this contest. Thanks to guruji.com team.
