Hangoutwith.com is a good social networking site especially for Indians and it is much cleaner than other sites such as orkut, tagged etc. Give it a Spin!

Nobody here ever heard of Jambav, and we could have just released it as a Jambav project, but it would only be proper to disclose the AdventNet background, which also backs Zoho. No team from Zoho was involved in this. I am sorry we aren't meeting your expectations on Zoho Projects. We are working hard to get it moved to the new infrastructure, but that is the only one that has not moved. We are updating every Zoho service every month, including Zoho Projects. We will move it within the next 2 weeks. I will have the lead developer contact you to discuss your specific issues. Thanks, Sridhar @Zaid,

It is annoying after a while to see a company you want to use for your project management stuff to keep releasing new tools when they should be fixing major issues with their existing products. Of course they can do the fixing and the new products at the same time...but a) they haven't been able to so far and b) I question the good in any company releasing new stuff every two weeks(name dilution, anyone?)
