2008


Seasons Greetings

Best Wishes
For a Vibrant and Prosperous
2008
On 01 Jan 1983, TCP/IP first came into existence. Today, as we celebrate the 25th milestone of the invention that directly led us to the Internet, it indeed feels great to be able to witness such a phenomenal moment.

Silver jubilee's have always been a source of inspiration to millions of people. In the technological domain, every developer looks forward to his golden sunset when he can bask in the aura of his invention having lasted a quarter century of existence.

01 Jan 2008 will in all probability go down in the history of the Internet as one of the golden days not only due to the silver jubilee celebration of TCP/IP but also because what has happened in the preceding two years. If 2006 was the year of Web 2.0, 2007 became the year of the You Tube. Any guess for what 2008 will be? My take is that Social Networking will become the biggest buzzword on the Internet in 2008.

People have been hankering about Facebook but the way I look at it, it doesn't interest me a wee bit. I like the Google Technology at work in Orkut and I'll bet my money on it. Ever tried Virtual Life existence? If not, then go get your presence registered on Second Life. You can find me there under the moniker Raymaker.

2008 has started and Google ushered in the New Year by putting up a doodle of the TCP/IP invention on its page. Way to go Google. I love you people out there.

Coming over to my hopes and expectations, well, there are dime a dozen things which I plan to accomplish in 2008. Though I am not the kinds who makes a New Year resolution but, just like 2007, I wish to achieve all that I dream about in life.

Here's wishing everybody the very best in 2008.

God bless ya all.
