Google is not god. Some of their new products are pathetic and one of them is sites.google.com If, I compare it with Tripod and Lycos ! Google sites goes down the hole. Once the site is created you cannot delete it. There are very few options in term of multimedia element integration. These days’ web sites use flash elements extensively but Google does not allow .swf file to be uploaded. This is how Google is trying to compete with Adobe. And this is true for blogger users as well. Have you ever try to upload a .swf? There corporate rivalry is causing discomfort to common users.

we have been working hard for online Flash games for some times. now is the time to go actully online and see do we really stand any where? so far so good. things been encourging. let's see if it materializes into revenues. response from online communites has been positive n we have a long way to go. http://www.kongregate.com/games/rahul7star/truck-drill here is the initial video put for the game on youtube:

My office colleague Sharad is a great web explorer he always discovers amazing websites about animation and arts. I think he has the exposure to the very best creative works online. Last time he showed me a site about 3D animations done for HIV awareness. Actually Warner Brothers have funded this initiative in association with http://hivfreegeneration.org/ I think, its really great that new technologies and communication strategies are applied to make people aware about HIV. Animation is an impact full medium to reach out the youth without being preachy about the issue.

Finally you see animation getting into regular political cartoons. I tried it as my diploma project and produced 5 short animated gags a prototype. (Visit the link: http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_set.asp?from_url=true&set_id=74241&individual_id=94593 ) I had written to many news channels regarding this and asked them to give me a chance to present it, at least. But I had no luck. Anyway, time seems to be favoring well known cartoonist ‘Pawan’ from ‘Patana’ and he has got a good amount of exposure in the TV media. Last week, I saw a news report about his animated series about Lalu Prasad Yadav. I envy him. I like to greet him for his successful venture. Good luck, Pawan. you can visit his site on this link: http://www.bihartimes.com/Pawan/pindex.html He has got a good mimicry done by his friend. Now, I think the time has come when we will be able to see some relevant entertainment and political comment on news channel rather than borrowed re-run of vulgar comedy show ...
