Even while I am complaining of my distorted view about the Indian media I am surprised to see this news release made by the company I represent, through an open release which is again our policy of "take it or leave it" for the press, being picked up by CRN India!

Seems like not everything is lost in reporting something good without being paid for or getting the story by throwing a cocktail dinner. When there are not better breaking news, the unbreaking news becomes breaking!! Many thanks to CRN and Jasubhai Media for having taken and reproduced it (never mind even if its after a month after the release). I stumbled on it through a web search.

Portal Wars: Google, Yahoo and APPLE!

Google, Yahoo and MSN continue to duke it out in search. Yahoo and Google are putting intense efforts to role out video and other multimedia search properties. Yahoo has invested heavily in a southern California operation to bolster its media efforts and Google Video plows ahead.

However, in my view, the real horse to watch is Apple. Yes, Apple, maker of the Ipod. Apple completely groks the new genres of media and how today's consumers want to buy and enjoy media. They were the first to understand that if you unbundle music from the album/CD format and make it easy to purchase, users would buy and not steal. They then took it one step further and added podcasts, yet another modern genre of audio entertainment.
