Social One or One Social

Digital world is blooming. Social networking site is the in thing. You have blogger, tumblr, wordpress, typepad for blogging. LinkedIn for business networking. Referral Key for sharing references and business leads. Twitter for micro blogging. Facebook for friends and relations. Instagram for sharing pictures. StumbleUpon to find new cool websites, images and photos across the web. Then there are aggregators like Feedly. Add Pintrest, Delicious, Reddit, Four Square....the list could simply goes on and on.

And a hell lot of us want to be on almost all of them, track them and keep following them. But can't really keep up with it for we have to constantly log in and out from one app to another to another. Though OpenID solves the problem to some extent one still has to log in and log out. That's where the idea of Social One comes in.

Social One would be an interface which accumulates all my social accounts on to a singly platform from where I can pick and choose what I need to see and customize it to meet and suit my requirements. The options could be as simple as click, drag and drop to organize. No more changing frequent ids or logging in and out of accounts. Just come to social one , create an account, log in, pick all the social networking sites you intend to bring under one roof, authorize and authenticate, and start using.  That's it. As simple as that.

Key issues though would be maintaining security for getting everything under roof may dream come true some and nightmare for others. But with complex level of security coming up and fingers and eyes.. being proposed as security measures to secure access..why give this idea a try.

Making the messenger Apps Talk to One Another

What if one messaging app can send messages to another messaging app. That would be fun for the user. The messaging services still get to keep their users. Rather than installing and using multiple messaging apps one app will suffice. The one that you like and not what others are using and you get compelled to use because of others.  The road however may be a difficult one to take as the creator will have to integrate n number of messaging apps and get them to talk with one another. It will be one hell of an idea.I still feel it will be win-win for the user and the messenger apps. The user - because there is no need to install multiple apps. The App - they get to keep their customers The real winner however will be the one who creates the app...but then looking at the ease it creates for users don't think anyone will be complaining. The online messengers services had such apps for e.g. meebo through which you could access all messengers through one login id...time for mo

My First Salary

Can people share their experience about the first salary. For many people the first salary is really special and a moment to cherish, a stepping stone to achieving their dreams. To spending the money on themselves, to treating friends, to offering it to their parents, to some investing it...varied people have varied ways of celebrating the moment special. Probably the website can help people connect with each other and share what they actually did with their first salary. They can also act as mentor / counsel to others about what they need to do to earn their rightful first salary. How to negotiate, how to deal with the anxiety of being the first timer and other such insights which can be really helpful. Worth a thought but however needs to be explored further to bring it into reality.

Life After Retirement

What happens after retirement? Most people do plan for retirement. The planning however happens in terms of making financial provision so that one continues to be independent.  Quite a few do have their bucket list to be ticked off. Retirement offers them the perfect opportunity to accomplish it. A few dedicate themselves to social causes while a handful few try their hands at becoming an entrepreneur / offering their services as consultants. This though remains limited to people who have done exceedingly well in their career and have retired from senior managerial / top management posts. A major chunk however does not fit the bill. For them post retirement life turns into the challenge.  As the euphoria surrounding the retirement subsides they start finding themselves alone with time that's hard to kill. Though over a period of time they do get used life. It's come at a cost. A cost which not only those retiring have to bear but also the society at large. Consider th
