Share scare

It's a wonderfully open world out there - broadband, broad opportunity to share news and views, online communities, blogs and more.

With a growing teen at home hooked on to orkut, I wonder ( as always) at all this opportunity to share. Exciting. Interesting. and well, a bit scary too.

Guess one needs to grow up, rewire one's 'old' mindsets and come of cyber age.

So help me God.

The newest entrant to the social networking phenomenon is Rediff.com, which today launched "iShare", a social content sharing platform that will allow users share videos, music, pictures, et al. Rediff said it intends for "iShare" (http://ishare.rediff.com/) to bring together users sharing similar passions to form a vibrant online community. "iShare" is also expected to throw open opportunities for Indian youth to showcase their talent on the Internet. Besides, it will bring professionals newer audiences for their work.
Speaking at the launch, Ajit Balakrishnan, chairman and chief executive officer of Rediff.com, said, "With broadband becoming affordable, and social networking taking-off in India, we believe that 'iShare' will provide users a context to connect and enjoy a more comprehensive multimedia entertainment experience on the Internet."

According to Rediff.com, "iShare" is easy-to-use thanks to the light utility tool, which users can install on their PCs and then upload multiple files at low speed without having to worry about the source of these files.
