Twitter has achieved tremendous growth in the last few months and a poll conducted by pluGGd.in (http://www.pluggd.in), India’s leading technology site revealed the ways Indians are using Twitter for.
While majority (17%) of users are still figuring out what do with Twitter, those who use it regularly are using Twitter as a news channel/service (16%).
Summary of Poll Results
The poll, conducted over a period of 3 weeks (across 1100+ members) has interesting statistics that reveals the general awareness about Twitter in India
- 16% use Twitter to stay updated with news
- 11% prefers to stay in touch with Friends using Twitter.

Is Twitter a threat to social networks?
Only 10% said they use Twitter to meet interesting people, but the network effect is surely a potential threat (11% use Twitter to stay connected to their friends).
Insights from the poll
The poll allowed people to choose 2 answers and here are some of the significant inferences:
- 68% of those who wants to stay updated with news also chose ‘stay in touch with friends’ : essentially, these are heavy users of the system and are influential netizens.
- Strong overlap (73%) between a fraction of netizens using Twitter for research purpose as well as work related.
- 30% of netizens have no clue about Twitter – they haven’t registered or if they have, they are still figuring out how to use Twitter.
- Twitter for social networking? Only 10% said they use Twitter to meet interesting people – so in all reality of the hype, Twitter isn’t a threat (in the near future) to social networks.
“Twitter popularity in India is primarily driven by the buzz created by media and it’s interesting to note that majority of Twitter usage is work related/research purpose giving the tool a wider meaning than microblogging. Moreover, Twitter is still being experimented for different reasons (global phenomena) and expect more use cases when it reaches the common mass, via sms integration” – said Ashish Sinha, Chief Editor of pluGGd.in.

IT Companies capital stuck in PayPal Payment Issue
Dollar payments by thousands of small and medium Indian businesses have been stuck over the last three weeks, after US online payments company PayPal suspended payment transaction to and from India over regulatory issues. PayPal’s move followed questions from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) about whether the US firm complies with laws on cross-border money transfers. Over 7,000 complaints, from customers who are unable to trace their money, have flooded internet portals and blogs.
On January 28 this year, the RBI clamped down on PayPal for carrying out interbank money transfers without a requisite licence. PayPal, which manages over 190 million accounts in 194 countries, responded by suspending monetary transfers to and from India, a move that has affected 30,000-40,000 businesses and individuals. Even as the outage is likely to continue in March, PayPal India officials were inaccessible for comment. Neither Farhad Irani, PayPal’s Asia Pacific head, responded to an e-mailed questionnaire nor eBay India’s spokesperson.
Meanwhile, small businesses are bearing the brunt of the impasse. Mahendra Sharma, chief executive of IT companies in India, a Web solutions company, had requested withdrawal of $6,500 made to a US client via his PayPal account. “I assume it is nowhere in the system, because till date, I am unable to trace it; it is neither in my PayPal account nor in my bank. PayPal simply apologises for the inconvenience and says that it is ‘working on it’, but has no clear explanation to offer,” Sharma fumed. PayPal users were first told on February 3 that the portal was in the process of upgrading its systems.
Krithika, a director with Chennai-based website design firm Anis Info Web, is yet to trace her $2,000, transacted to a US client on February 1. “They promised to reverse the money to my bank account which they didn’t. It’s not there in the PayPal account either. There is no clear time window on when I will get to know the fate of my money.”
PayPal has become the standard mode for making payments and withdrawals to many Indian SMBs and freelance programmers, bypassing the high processing fees of conventional banking channels. Companies noted that banks typically charge between $40-$50 as transfer fees per $1,000 transacted. Making a snappy money transfer via credit card on PayPal was viewed as a cheaper and better option.
According to users of PayPal, while the portal does not have investment bank status, it has been performing the functions of an investment bank. “If they did not have the RBI approval for conducting bank-to-bank transfers, why did they start money transfer operations? In the event of them going ahead with processing business transactions and charging fees for the same, RBI should have stopped them early on. Too many transactions are blocked, with absolutely no clarity on payment and withdrawal status,” said the CEO of a trading company, who finds himself unable to access the $15,000 which he sent via PayPal earlier this month.
Defining himself as a “creditor” in a purely legal sense, the CEO said that PayPal users are likely to form pressure groups to press their case with the RBI. “We are unable to understand PayPal’s reticence and lack of transparency with customers.”
Saurabh Bhandari, CEO of Indore-based Flair Solutions, said, “My money with them is untraceable at present, and my complaints are still unresolved. Practically anybody in India who does business with small clients in the US have been using PayPal because they trust them. But this trust is disappearing.”
“We are working on a consensus among affected users and exploring legal options, if the status of the money remains unclarified by PayPal,” added Sharma, who has written to the RBI’s Mumbai branch for a clarification on the issue.

Who will be a Winner: Bing or Google?
A great hype about Bing is going in the market. Will it outdate Google or not is the thing of future. And how it will affect the market share of Google is the fact to see in coming years.
A great surprised has been evolved in the World Wide Web market as main share of the market is been taken by the Bing, a new search engine which has been launched recently, just few months before. Bing has outraced Yahoo and Google. It has already gained .3% of market share on each search engine just in one month. Everywhere they are talking about Bing and its advanced usage. Everyone wants to use and find out the difference. But this does not mean that it can outdate Google from the market. We can only say that it was because of too much of advertising behind Bing that has lead it to initial rise and controlling major share of market.
Usually when new things come into market they first soar high due to lot of hype, and advertising and marketing. Then slowly the high tide goes down and its name is wiped out from the surface of market. But, slowly we can see that Bing is losing ground rather than completely vanish from the picture.
When go into deep research we can find that compare to other search engines Google plays a vital role by providing the quick results to the users. Google usually updates itself providing advanced search techniques and easing the searches of browsers. We never have a chance to comment on the services of Google. Because we get what we want on Google then why to bother about other things.
People try to compete against Google but due to lack of proper footing fail. Let us see how the battle of search engines will become more interesting in future.
