We have submitted our second social application “It’s My life” to Orkut and waiting for approval. “Its my life” is all about sharing your life with others. But concept is not so simple as it seems. It not only shares your life but it can help you get famous by spreading your word virally.
It is just like Scraps concept on Orkut but with a difference that as soon as you post something all your friends gets an update. Your friends can comment on your story and whenever they make a comment their friends would get an update about your story. The whole concept is to promote your story to the entire network on Orkut.
So, Join if you …
- need someone to share your emotions.
- want to tell the world about your achievement.
- want to document your life and get famous.
- want to tell people what you think.
- want to help your friends.
Let’s make everyone’s life happy. Share your daily short stories and help your friends learn something from your experiences or read others and learn from their experiences.
I hope you would like this application. Please send us your comments. We love to get admire after so much of the hard work.
Our idea is to build a social network of applications which can be accessed from Facebook, MySpace, Orkut, Hi5 etc. By the end of this year we will have 12 applications with more than 1 million users using it and we are trying to develop some meaningful applications which can change your life.
Don’t forget to check “It’s my Life – Let’s make everyone’s life happy”.
Appointy.com is our first software as a service product is live now.
Appointy, is the first of its kind social network driven, service search engine which not only enables you to search but also allows you to book services in your area or if you own a business and accepts appointment over phone then start accepting appointments online from 200+ million users socializing on web and grow your business exponentially.
The concept is simple.
-First of all, Appointy provides businesses with an advanced appointment management system which helps them to market & manage their clients & appointments. It connects 200+ million users on social platforms like Facebook, Orkut, hi5, MySpace to book appointments with you.
-Secondly, Appointy allows users to search for businesses in their area and allows them to instantly book an appointment with them.
In today’s world starting a business is easy but it takes lot of efforts and money to market, manage and grow your business. Business usually grows over a period of time with the help of word-of-mouth publicity. This is a proven fact but is time consuming. Appointy would just make it easy and helps to speed up your word-of-mouth publicity.
On the other hand, how many times you personally felt that the hair cut your friend got is cool and wanted something similar? Or how many times you wanted to know the best dentist in your area and you called your friend? This is a common problem people face. You have to check reviews, call them, inquire about their rates and if things work you book an appointment with them over phone. You cannot book an appointment instantly with them. Now, Appointy is taking it a step further and allows you to search services, book appointment instantly with few clicks and it will also show you which of your friend visited which business and how was his experience.
We always believe in helping businesses and taking a very small percentage of what we help them to earn. Same concept applies with Appointy.
Appointy is a new concept to promote businesses which accepts appointments over phone through viral channels and we take a small pie of amount in the form of premium services on monthly basis. (About 20 USD per month)
Appointy would increase your business by 100% while reducing 90% of the marketing cost. So give it a try. Appointy.com, Grow your business exponentially.

Wednesday, 6th August 08 at 11:12 PM, I opened my emails and found an email from Orkut. I knew what was inside that email. And here is what they wrote:
“Hi. Your application has just been approved and should be listed in orkut’s directory within an hour, although it may take a bit longer to show in the ‘newest additions’ panel.”
I knew it’s time to keep awake. I informed the whole team and the excitement got doubled. We started monitoring our servers so that everything goes smoothly.
Here is the complete thrilling experience:
1. Application went live @ 11:15 PM on 6th Aug 08.
2. Within 1st minute of launch we had our first player from Brazil.
3. Within an hour we had 42 members playing 20+ games.
4. As it was midnight so only I and Rajesh were in the office. And we feel lucky to experience such a wonderful night.
5. Server was behaving perfectly and to our surprise 1 member was coming every minute.
6. We played lots of games with new members and got some great feedbacks.
7. We reached 100 members within 2 hours of the launch.
8. Got an email from Google to change few things and we were glad to know that Google gives importance to applications even after launch.
9. At about 6:15 AM (7 hours after launch) we had some 500 members and this night would never come again even after we launch many more applications like this.
This is just a small part of strategy we have developed. The main product is different and we are sure that we will be bringing much more users to the parent product.
So keep in touch and let’s bring some excitement in everybody’s life.
