             Dial62 – When You Are Lost! 

                                                                         If your road sense sucks! Or if you never seem to know the way to go to reach a certain place no matter if you have been there before? Well I emphathize with you. Im one of those who depend on Google maps to reach anywhere they want. Its accurate 60-70% of the times. But people like me would definitely love a service where I could just call and ask for directions! Wouldn’t you? I mean with all the new malls, roads, and buildings coming up the last thing we all have time for is to find new places.

MapmyIndia is looking to solve this exact same issue and has launched a service calledDial62.com. dial62 is a live operator-assisted phone service where you can call to find local business listings,  driving directions and city specific info.  Currently available ALL India for driving directions Delhi NCR I believe this service has potential across all major metros. Though challenges will be in terms of landmarks and updation of the data. One can also benefit immensely as the operator can offer offers around that areas. Just the other day I was at a location near Andheri, Mumbai searching for a coffee shop for a client meeting that got scheduled in a hurry. This service would be amazingly useful for such information. Globally services like Fourwhere.com have been launched which do this through an application. But given the dismal usage of GPRS in India I believe voice will surely have the last mile effect for this service.

PS: I havent used this service but believe that it has huge potential if executed well

            Write Your Name in Different Styles & Languages

                                      

Looking to write your name in different styles? Here’re some online tools to help you do just that:

1. Google Transliterate – India is a land of many languages and this online tool from Google will help you write your name in almost all prominent languages of the country including Hindi, Urdu, Tamil and Bengali.

2. Google Translate – If you want to write your name in a language like Chinese, Japanese or even Greek, you really need to get hold of a person who can speak that language. If you can’t find one, Google Translate is the next best option.

3. Elvish Language – This is something for Lord of the Rings fans. The page describes how you can easily represent your English name using the Tengwar script. The writing looks mysterious and it’s not very hard.

4. Braille Generator – The tool will convert your name into Braille, a popular writing system that enables blind people to read and write through touch. They just run their fingers across these tiny dots to read them.

5. Hobbit Runes – The runes were in use during the 1st century AD and were later replaced by the Latin alphabet. The tool will help you write you name using the ancient runic alphabets.

6. Babylon Tablets – Use this tool to write your name in the cuneiform script, the earliest known writing system in the world of the Babylonian era. The script was written on clay tablets and was then baked hard in a kiln.

7. Morse Code – Write your name in Morse Code, a system that was invented in the 19th century to transmit information using telegraph lines. The most popular Morse code phrase is SOS which is represented by “…—…” or 3 dots followed by 3 dashes followed by 3 dots.

8. Ancient Egyptian – The writing system of ancient Egyptians, known as Hieroglyphs, used symbols instead of characters. The tool take the first 16 characters of your name and converts them into the same hieroglyphs symbols that were used by Ancient Egyptians.

9. FДКЗ CУЯILLIC – Remember how they wrote "BORДT" on the movie posters of “Borat” – that’s was fake Russian and this tool can help you convert just about any English text into the same style.
