Having fun isn’t hard if you’ve got a RockeTalk heart
From us to you: The RockeTalk Team
Yes, we are real.
Did you see it? The 'R'?
Yes, we work long hours.
Stay up night after night trying to make things easier and more fun for everyone.
Most of us are the invissible people who magically appear out of nowhere and try to quickly fix bugs that you report.
We try to keep up with your demands for features and even try to think ahead and give you features you’ve never thought of.
We are the ones who ‘moderate’ those racy videos and pictures you keep trying to post into the Galleries. Yes, we are the ones who suspend your accounts when you behave badly 
We love what we do and we love working as a team to make things work. We go through each and every comment you share about your experiences- with ‘r’ ‘Help’ or ‘amita’ (Yes, Amita is a real, living breathing person) and others who are occassionally seen on the ‘Live’ server or on email support@RockeTalk.com , feedback@rocketalk.com .
Most of us work tirelessly in the background but we have fun too. We play pranks (My favorite one: when the server response coming back occassionally as “Elvis has left the building”… The server response had the team wondering for a bit how that happened ..lol.. John are you reading this?)
We take breaks from work as a team and this is what we did last weekend.
Oops! Now you know why it took longer to get back to you… lol.. Not to worry- we take turns – the show, on RockeTalk, simply must go on

Another Addicted RockeTalker!
We always like to hear from RockeTalkers. Sometimes they say good things (like they can’t live without RockeTalk)- and sometimes they tell us we simply stink.
And then ocassionally come across something interesting that they posted on the web
Read on.
RockeTalk: A World that Never Sleeps
“By now all those who know me, know that I’m totally addicted to RockeTalk. After all, who wouldn’t be? All my fellow RockeTalker would agree with me. It is by far the most addictive social networking application that I’ve got my hands on. So much so, that when my mother filled in the matrimony column for me, (don’t even ask about that!!!) in the ‘interests’ section I asked her to put in ‘RockeTalking’.
RockeTalking for me has become a part of my daily life now. Like I’ve said many times, I start my mornings not with a cup of tea or coffee, nor do I jump out of bed and rush to brush my teeth…I start it with greetings all my fellow RockeTalkers. It’s funny but RT has turned me into a very tolerant person. From being a girl, who hated talking to people for the first couple of hr’s after she’s woken up coz she couldn’t stand to listen to non-stop chatter to being someone who actually pops open one eye and searches for the cell phone just to connect with the world. Lolz…the next few seconds are spent in checking who all are online. Thank god I don’t have to search for them. All the online friends are listed with a green symbol against their name…and the lazy bone in me doesn’t want to send out individual msgs. So I simply mark one msg to all… and that marks the beginning of an endless chat session.
Let me tell you RT is not just about chatting, it has a host of other things to offer. Like any other ordinary person, I too work for a living, so can’t get away from work, and the ride to office in an auto can be quite boring. Well, RT comes to my rescue again!! For all of you who don’t know this, you can actually make mini videos on the move and share with your fellow RockeTalkers, or even other friends (post it to their email addresses). So as soon as I see something interesting I capture it through my RT camera, and simply post it either to my friends, or if I want to share it with everyone then I post it in the ‘Gallery’. And as I browse through the gallery, sitting at the back of an auto, enduring a bumpy ride to my office, I come across many interesting videos posted by other users. It’s interesting to know how creative people can get when given a camera in hand. In fact browsing the ‘gallery’ is a sure shot way to lift your low spirits. It always works for me!!
What it also does for me is provide entertainment. You know when you’re at work and feel the need for music, but think that the HR will be after your life if caught (as if you were stealing an imp document!!), that’s the time RT is my little savior!( If my HR girl read this she would never let me live in peace, lol). Don’t get me wrong, we don’t have music playing in there, it isn’t a radio channel…but what we have is live music. User’s at RockeTalk love to sing. Doesn’t matter if they are bathroom singers, the pure love for singing shows in their voice and its so much fun…to be honest, I’ve myself joined them with antakshari many a times lol…But ofcrs, that’s after office hrs. When I’m relaxing at home after a hard days work, and don’t wanna watch TV. In-fact a lot of college students putting up in hostels or as paying guests, swear by this as it’s just the perfect source of entertainment for them. When their friends from India doze off they begin the same rounds with users from other parts of the world, who have just started their day.
Speaking of users, I love people who state the obvious. Read this somewhere- “Social Media provides better coverage of news”…really? I guess this is why traditional news is being replaced by social news sites. The obvious is hardly stated and events are current. Like you would always get live updates on RT about the things happening around. So even if you are sitting in your office u will be able to find out the latest score of the IPL or get to know of the bomb blast that are happening in some part of India…coz user’s make video’s and share right away. I can safely say that some of the content that I see on RockeTalk, I don’t even see it on any of the news channels! The con’s being you sometimes get false information….because someone decided to have a little fun as he was getting bored stiff or this was his idea of getting attention of other users. Whatever it may be, at the end of it, its fun, entertaining and you’re connected to the world for free!!
So don’t just sit there and read this blog, come and connect with me and the world as well. Come join me on RockeTalk.
