Announcing my new blog Mindspace at wordpress. While regular programming will continue here as usual, Mindspace will have more focus on my work areas – qualitative research, ethnography, design and usability, innovations, new technology and such.
Do head there for a dekko. Suggestions and feedback welcome and if nice, much appreciated.

My first real post there was on the growing youth-mobile phone market and instant messaging. As I finished writing that, I saw this on BBC – Literary classics become txt msgs. And how!

This version of Pride & Prejudice was sooooooo hard to read.:-)
🙂
🙂 yes wasn’t it? but once I got used to the idea, I kind of liked it.
and you must read the ending to Jane Eyre on the article. great stuff!
Great! I’ll add that to my feedblitz account as well. WordPress is the program I use. I think you’ll like it.

This is hilarious!
I’ll give it a look I now work in Market Research, not qualitative but interested in it all the same.
Trish 🙂 I use wordpress for this blog too 🙂
Sujatha, I found it very tough to read it initially and then got used to it!
Akshay, market research? where? what? tell all?
I’m working for CSMM (IMRB) Mumbai, they’re letting me do some DIs and help them design questionnaires. Its quiet interesing and gives me some insight into the world of business and the glorious field of customer satisfaction.
Wow! When I read that news I didn’t so much think of Pride and Prejudice, one of my favourite novels. This version of P&P was surely the toughest to read – and suddenly I feel sorry for Dot Mobile, for the exercise they are undertaking! 🙂
