Who flirts more, boys or girls?

That was what we were all talking about. It did get very noisy, chaotic and lively. We were not huddled up in a room, in fact we where not even in the same city or country and some of us several time zones away. What came about was a hilarious competition between the guys and gals…..

The audio clip below was posted in Radio RockeTalk community.

This is a result of the original clip, heard last, being forwarded and new clips recorded with it. Pretty interesting… was like a night long campout. But then, RockeTalk always feels that way….

Flirting is an art. In this fast paced world, we tend to forget that it takes creativity, a hint of naughtiness and a mystery to achieve the full effect. 

What better way to flirt than the good old Bollywood, filmy style- using songs. Yes, we use songs and music everywhere. So go on- flirt. Keep them guessing…. was it just a song or was it something more Let’s do it… on air! Old songs and some new ones.. bring it on!

Let’s give ‘em something to talk about…. 

You still flirt in text or do you do it in person… in voice…. on air… with all your heart?

Here are some fun audio clips for you to enjoy!

Once again, you guys are amazing! We think we know you well enough, and you surprise us every time!!

Love you all.

Take care… and.. through the night… we’ll be watching ya

Everyone knows that there a lot more than what meets the eye and what actually makes it to the final cut even for the reality shows. There are takes and re-takes. There is so much more to the shows and things get really interesting when the contestants are eXhausted and the crew is under eXtreme pressure to make the show work and become a hit.

There are times when what goes on the actual show isn’t half as interestig as what goes on, hmmmm … well, in between shoots or when the people on the sets think the cameras are ‘off’. But…. Wherever there is A-C-T-I-O-N, chances are, there is a camera capturing it all. Tempers flaring, giantic egos, creative folks, tantrums, bloopers- you name it, we got it. And guess what? We got the exclusive scoop on it. Check it all out – only on RockeTalk. Are you tuned in? Or are you missing out?

Finally here! The much awaited new release, fondly referred to as the ‘Mirchi’ release because of the new ‘What’s Hot’ look- with flames and a bright red chili pepper, is now available to a limited group of users. It is scheduled to go live for everyone this weekend.

Not everything is visible all at once; there are several changes you will notice as you use the application.  Notable new features added by popular demand:

1. Extended video recording- Yep! You asked for it, you got it. Now you can send longer videos from your phones to other RockeTalkers’ phones or any email address and post your fun videos to the Gallery. All the better for your citizen journalism needs and to send those family video to all your family and friends!

2. Those ever popular Smileys or emoticons – yes they are finally there to use in an easy way.

3. The much asked for BUZZ for friends … well you asked for it, we did it. We made it even more exciting- giving you the option to record your own Buzz. Don’t be surprised when your friends catch you off gaurd sending you some intersting stuff.. lol.. we wish we could see your faces when someone sent you one of those naughty ones.

Hmmm.. not sure what a Buzz is? A Buzz is a way to wake up your friends who are online but are quiet or… use it just for entertainment.. we leave that to your imagination.

You will see little changes happening in the background almost on a daily basis over the next several weeks.

Keep those suggestions coming and we’ll see how we can all work to make your RockeTalk en more fun and meaningful.

Thanks from the bottom of our heart to all Beta testers and our ever expanding,  inner circle of users, our ambassadors. We really appreciate all your help.

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.

On our last post we asked for your true stories of RockeTalk.  We have recieved several such stories, which we will publish over the comming days and weeks.

But one true story has caught our attention, because it involves the very serious situation in Kashmir. As you know the violence in the Indian-administered Kashmir over the transfer of land to a Hindu organization in the majority Muslim state may jeopardize the peace process between India and Pakistan. 

Through RockeTalk people of different religous and economic backgrounds have been able connect and discuss a common cause.   A Muslim from Kashmir is able to relate his story, using video, to a Hindu-Sikh girl in California.   It goes to show you the true power of social networking.  Read the whole story of Kashmir: Paradise Lost!

It is absolutely inspiring to see the global nature of Social Networking.  We launched the RockeTalk Beta just about 12 days ago, and our primary goal was to learn about the social entertainment needs of the mobile Indian consumer.  We’ve already been surprised by the larger than expected number of Indian users who are signing up for the RockeTalk beta every day, and providing us with valuable feedback.   We‘re also getting users from some expected places such as US, and UK.  

But what has surprised us has been the vast number of people who are signing up for RockeTalk from some unexpected places, such as Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and even Iran.  In just 12 days since our launch, we already have users from over 90 countries – from Afghanistan to Zambia !!!

It all goes to show you that Social Networking is a borderless phenomenon and it is most powerful when it is truly global.   The powerful of social networking is connecting people from all over the globe.
