Toluu is an interesting web2.0 tool which provides you with new and interesting feeds for your RSS reader/aggregator.
How does Toluu work? Upload an OPML file or add feeds manually. Based on your interests, shows other people with similar feeds. Like something? Click on the feed and say add. The feed is added to your aggregator (Not Toluu). You choose your aggregator, be it google reader, bloglines or whatever you may choose to use.
A list of the feeds you subscribe to remains on Toluu and it allows the engines at Toluu to pick better recommendations for you. The match engine shows promise and the idea is simply superb. It fills up the narrow space between you and your feed reader. Now that’s a market noone has tapped. Love that, simply ground breaking…Right now Toluu is in private beta and you can request for a beta invite code by signing up at their site. The best feature is the fact that you don’t have to fill up your profile if you have a twitter id. Auto import of your profile from twitter and if you want even makes a twit every time you add a feed to your profile (great!). Check out my feeds here.
The site design is simplistic and easy to use and navigate, the true mark of the birth of a new success story. Great use of technology, easily one of the most innovative technologies recently…Try it out today.
Or (as always) you could ask me for one

Atlast the movie, I had been waiting for is here, the waiting was so tough that I even blogged when I was waiting. Forget the hype. I watched Dark Knight because I am fan of the series and always have been. I was in my 3rd grade when I watched my first batman movie. It was so dark and evil back then, but I still loved every bit of it.
And now I watch the Dark Knight..more eerie, more scary, more powerful, more evil and more of Joker. When I saw the promos, I was constantly disturbed that the movie was more of the Joker than the Batman. After I watched the movie, this is the first movie where all my thoughts have been on the villain rather than on what the hero did.
Batman does a few antics, packs in a few technology and suffers at the hands of the Joker. While the Joker plans and schemes ahead of everyone, thinks like a lunatic; yet with the precision of a scientist acts out his role like a dream. And so many others have said it, and I would say it too. Give him an Academy award; he deserves it…He plays Joker with elan, makes him look cruel, sadistic and as perfect as he could ever be. I think he even went beyond what the real Joker was. Now the Dark Knight stars Heath Ledger as the Joker, and that would be Late Heath Ledger, just in case you did not know. He was only 28 when he died in January 2008. He has already been nominated for the Academy awards so I really want him to win it this time. I am sad that hollywood has lost a star of this calibre. I really wonder how someone could undergo such a transformation and live the character.


The storyline is long, and it is one of the longest movies I have seen. It is engrossing, dark, chilly and gives you the feel that you are in the midst of the action. The storyline does not belong to an ordinary superhero movie. It would be more at home in the slick academy award winning genre. The storyline has action, but it does not disturb the aesthetics of the movie one bit, nor does it come in the way of the brilliant performances. Yeah, I would have liked more footage on two-face though..
All through my review I have not quoted a single scene from the movie. Because I do not wish to spoil the fun you are going to have when you watch the movie. But still, if you are one of those who wishes to read the plot before watching it. Read it here. So what is the final verdict? Watch it. 6 out of 5 stars for this one. Why so serious? Go watch it and have fun.

The maruti swift dzire is here..The latest version of the swift (the erstwhile esteem) is here in India. I haven’t seen many on the roads, but happened to come across the demo car and found that it really looks spacious and big..The boot has been designed in such a precise way that it doesn’t become a misfit on the swift..
I would only complain about two aspects..One, there is nothing but the grille to differentiate the dzire from the swift when looked at from the front..Two, I personally am not too impressed with the name of the car…
