Yahoo! Kickstart

2007-11-11T02:28:00.000-08:00

Yahoo recently released itz own social Networking Site named 'KickStart'...

I kickstarted myself by signing up with the same.As usual Yahoo's brilliant effort got visualized with their Kickstart.

Though it doesn't get much hyped like Orkut, I personally believe Kickstart will be oneday a behemoth for other biggies like Orkut or Facebook etc.

Yahoo!'s Kickstart basically serves as a single point for Grads and Professionals to enrich their career by establishing a virtual network among peers of same kind.

Moreover, Kickstart was developed with intention to provide its users, a Professional environment for grads and Professionals to expose themself oriented more towards their career.

But Kickstart will have a very tough time amassing a population that comes close to rivaling either aforementioned network.

Kickstart enables us to:

Have a network with people
Upload your profile
Obviously Search for different people,Colleges,Companies and Affiliations
And a MailBox too...
Upload your photograph for ur Profile .

Still itz in Beta stage, I cant expect much from Kickstart.

Lets wait and see whether Yahoo! KickStart will really kickstart. :)

2007-06-17T22:33:00.000-07:00

Yuvan's latest Music flick got released named 'Satham Podathey'.

Comes out with five peppy numbers.

de most interesting fact is that there is no remix in this movie album which is almost present in his previous albums.

Songs are nice to listen and the list continues as follows...

Azhagu Kutty Chellam - song starts like a old hindi movie then rolls like a folk kind...

Entha Kuthirayil - as usual shreya goshal's voice dominates in this wid usual yuvan's music...

Kathal Periyatha - fast beat...heavy rythm...nice voice selection..believe it, classical singer sudha ragunathan sung this one!!!!!

O Intha Kathal - Ma favorite...really cool song...voice starts wid yuvan then adnan handles the rest...yuvi roxxx in this one...rythm and the beats were really mindblowing...

Pesukiraen Pesukiraen - viva girl's voice is tremendously cool and de music is kinda slow rythm and lil percusions been used...

My Overall Rating for this yuvan's latest flick wud be| 85/100(well am die hard yuvan's fan)

Yuvan's Next album| Billa

Wachowski Bros. to direct 'Speed Racer'

2007-05-04T11:26:00.000-07:00

Directing siblings the Wachowski brothers are determined to make a children's movie so their nieces and nephews can finally get to see their work.

Andy and Larry Wachowski are best known for action blockbusters like The Matrix and V For Vendetta, as well as the lesbian con movie Bound.

But The Wachowski Brothers are now planning a change of genre to appeal to younger viewers - they're latest project is family movie Speed Racer, which stars Christina Ricci and Susan Sarandon, and is produced by Joel Silver.

Silver says, "It's a big family movie - they wanted to make a G-rated movie (the US equivalent of a Universal rating).

"They said their nephews and nieces would call them and say, 'Why can't we see your movies?' They said maybe we could find a way to do that.

"They think some of the animated movies like toy story and Finding Nemo, are very sentimental. They want to make a picture like that, a movie that is not quite so cynical, but can be more fun."

Quick Facts|

Probable Release Date would be 9 May 2008

Shooting starts June 5th in Berlin

Movie is going to be largely or entirely shot in front of the green screen
