The Century Times

After changing the world of communication with his first innovative venture hotmail.com, what Mr. Sabeer Bhatia is doing these days? Well, according to Business Standard & News Track, he is preparing to launch & promote a new social networking website namely www.apnacircle.com along with one Mr. Yogesh Bansal. You might be wondering that after so many websites on social networking including orkut, myspace, facebook, etc. do we need another one? But perhaps we do. Perhaps thats why the mega-giant Reliance too recently entered this field with its own social networking site BigAdda.com. Other Indian players include Desimartini, indyarocks, brijj.com (business networking by naukri.com team), etc. Then how Mr. Sabeer Bhatia is going to promote his website in this overcrowded market?

Actually, Sabeer Bhatia is a brand in itself and it represents to be unique, innovative and thus being different and having some pioneering features in whatever he do. According to Jothivel Moorthi.AC, unlike Orkut, Apna Circle has “Recommendations” that can be made by colleagues, business partners, seniors etc. and its featured to come in indian languages too. Although Orkut is also available in regional languages, I hope Apna Circle will add more unique features to it with time.

Mr. Bhatia is also contemplating a project on offering free conference calls on yet another website. Projects like this might go an instant hit. He also has ambitious promotional plans for his year old travel portal arzoo. So you should expect something remarkable from apnacircle.com.

Another important reason to join apnacircle.com:

There is another more compelling reason for why I am insisting you to join this website apnacircle.com and that is a bit personal. But I’ll like to share it with you because as a regular reader to my blog, you could share this secret with me!

Well, to be candid, I’ll like to tell you that once I too planned to launch a social networking website but couldn’t garner enough courage and funds to compete with the ever growing biggies in this field. But in the process, I got a domain registered for this project and it is very similiar to the one chosen by Sabeer Bhatia. So there is a soft corner in my heart for him to succeed in this project.

And now let me be more frank about it. A little while back, when I was discussing about Sabeer’s domain name and his new project with one of my friends, my friend told me that I can get a very good value for my domain name if Sabeer’s project becomes a big hit. So, I started praying more devotedly for the success of his project . Now you got it right. I see that my financial fortunes are now linked with that of Sabeer Bhatia’s fortune !

I am now waiting for the right time when my domain can earn a fortune for me even without going for that project which I wanted to. And for the curious you, the name of the domain is www.MeraCircle.com

So may I ask you all here to make apnacircle.com a success. Atleast you can join here and refer it to your friends. And yes a big thanks from me for doing this .
