Wish you Very Very Happy & Prosperous New Year.

And WelCome 2006. What are the treasures hidden in the 2006?

I do wish you all a Very Very Happy & Prosperous New Year.
This is really very strange feeling when you decide about your plans for the coming year.
The first thing come in your mind is, how this year has been for you and what are the things that you achieved this year.
For me this year has been really good. I have joined a big company which is an SEI-CMM level 5. The work i am doing right now, had been the same as what i had always wanted to do. only class work and not the mass work.
Not much work pressure and still got the desired out put which earned client's appreciations.
Looking at the life style for this year, I had my first mobile this year and really helped me to keep in touch with friends and relatives. I purchased a new Flat at Sangvi (pune). Though i am not living their, it had always affectionated me. During my college days of BCS (Bachelor of computer science) at B.R.Gholap college in sangvi, i had been always wanted a home at sangvi.
Again i got my new bike Hero Honda Splendor, and that is also the one i was waiting from long time.
My sister also got married this year.
So lot many happenings had been in this year.

Now what next?
Really the great question, Home renovation or my wedding or new Car and pursuing hobby of music or enhancing skill set. These are the things on the priority list for this year and all are expensive. Will the salary raise enough to meet all the expenses and is the good luck still me for the next year. Really managing money seems harder than earning it.
Still i am keeping one important thing for next to next year is becoming entrepreneur. Lets see how the things goes.
In the last 3 years i had been switching company for every year, will i be in another company in next year?.

Top 10 Tech Transformations of 2005

Top 10 Tech Transformations of 2005 : From New Media Musings

Everyone else is making Best of 2005 top 10 lists, so here's a quick list of Top 10 ways in which technology has impacted our culture during 2005, in no particular order. I didn't check any other writer's lists, so I probably missed some big ones.

1. The edges gain power. From the video and music worlds to politics and culture, power is increasingly flowing away from the media, from the political elites and from the corporate suits and into the hands of ordinary users who are collectively wielding more influence in all walks of life, mostly thanks to the Internet. The forces of freedom are steadily chipping away at the power of the forces of control. It's pure beauty.

2. Citizens media takes off. Few amateurs are creating citizen journalism, but millions of us are creating our own messy, democratic works -- photos, video, audio -- and a lot of it is astonishingly good. The introduction of devices like the video iPod will propel citizens media into millions of more homes, while traditional, force-fed, top-down, linear Big Media programming and content continues to falter.

3. The rise of Web 2.0. Web 2.0 is not just a nickname for all the new stuff happening on the Web these days. It's a catchphrase for the Web as a platform, with dozens of startups and more mature companies getting into the act of creating Web services that let you accomplish things online instead of depending on old-fashioned software loaded onto your hard drive. It's all moving online, baby.

4. Google grows into a collossus. A year ago, Google was a terrific search engine. Now it has risen to the ranks of one of the most powerful business forces on the planet. Gmail, Google Earth and Google Maps are only a sampling of its potential impact on the culture.

5. Skype hits 50 million users. Its multibillion-dollar purchase by eBay aside, Skype is singlehandedly deep-sixing the wires-and-switches telecommunications business and transforming us into a ubiquitous, always-on communication hive.

6. Social media become a force. Community sites like MySpace, Facebook, Flickr and Buzznet gained success and prominence on the strength of social networking, tagging and other tools that promoted the idea of media as a conversation.

7. Cell phones get smart. It's been happening for years, but 2005 was the year in which mobile phones finally integrated photography, video and texting successfully, making these converged devices ubiquitous and useful.

8. Print's decline accelerates. We thought it would take many years, but newspaper circulation is plummeting and magazine revenue is stagnating as more readers -- and advertisers -- turn to the online medium. Craigslist, in particular, has become a major beneficiary of users' shifting loyalties in the classifieds marketplace.

9. Podcasting becomes a movement. In the fall of 2004, podcasting was still a novelty practiced by a handful of hobbyists. Now it's a full-blown movement, with thousands of people creating downloadable audio programs and millions of subscriptions via RSS. Podcasting easily outshines the drivel you hear on commercial radio.

10. The power of goodwill. Thanks to online fundraising efforts, relief agencies raised record donations for victims of the South Asian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina.

Honorable mention: Blogging gets big. Yes, blogging already made its impact with the 2004 election, if not before, but blogging achieved mainstream status in 2005 by dint of sheer numbers (over 24 million blogs today) and by its rising up alongside mainstream media as an influential part of the public's media diet. Between blogging, Google Earth, and sites like MySpace, Flickr and Facebook, we're continuing to see a steady erosion of traditional notions of privacy.
