While we’re on metrics, here are some search engine metrics from useit.com, Media Metrix, Nielsen’s NetRatings and StatMarket. Yahoo’s right on top, followed by MSN.

Now there’s even more e-brokers: Sharekhan (what a name), 5-paisa and EquityMaster.

Speed 2: Cruise Control. The climax. A tanker is getting blown up. Why, then, is a cow flying out as debris? If you’re interested in special effects, Visual Effects HQ is all about FX in movies. About.com talks about the technology. Yahoo!, as usual, has a whole bunch of deadly FX links.

Check out Harappa if you’re interested in the Indus Valley Civilization.

India’s truly on the Net. With a slew of localized sites – Yahoo! India, CNet India, India.internet.com, and ZDNet India. – we’ve arrived! Don’t underestimate any of them, especially Yahoo! and its finance, news (with full coverage) and movie sites.

A neat joke on Amazon.com.

Is IIM-B known on the Internet? What do people think? Who links to IIMB?

These days, I see many sites put DHTML to good use. Online solutions and PassThisOn, for example.

The Electronic Commerce Resource Center is the Yahoo of e-commerce. But if you want articles, go to Digital Commerce Center or internet.com.

I found this law site where you can search for all the acts and bills the Indian government has passed. It’s got their full text as well.

Looks like India’s bandwidth problems will be resolved in a year. With the DoT opening up submarine fiber optic, Department of Telecommunication Services is commissioning 80GB (2001). NASSCOM’s getting 100GB (2003). Dishnet’s trying for 2.5TB (2001). Wow!

Will India have e-Tax? Let’s hope not.

Geojit securities was the first site where you could trade stocks online. ICICIDirect followed. Now there’s a whole bunch (based on a Khoj search): Abhipra, Agroy, Ansec, iBroking India bulls, Investment map and Stock mantra. I’m going to start an account soon. Comments ramesh 25 Jul 2000 12:00 pm: the correct link of Geojit Securies is www.geojit.com thank you

It turns out that I’ve seen 9 out of the top 10 movies according to the Internet Movie Database. As of today, the list read: Godfather, Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, Schindler’s List, Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Star Wars, Godfather: Part II, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Dr. Strangelove (which I haven’t seen).

I found some interesting articles on Strategy & Business magazine. How Novell manages their reseller channel, how brick-and-mortar companies can brand on the Internet and corporate culture on the Internet.

The Kleinman report is another interesting (monthly) report on web happenings.

Hal Varian has a site on the Information Economy. It contains a huge list of links relating to economics of information, which is his area.

Google has a bunch of resume resources that tell you how to write a resume. A good one to look at is Quest Career’s, and another is at Learn2.

HowStuffWorks and Learn2 are great places to learn something new on the Net. I learnt how to tie a necktie at Learn2.

Tradeport has a wonderful collection of Indian industry reports and market research along with lots of other stuff on India and other countries.
