As we wrap up 2009 and step into 2010, we take this opportunity to give you a glimpse of what goes on, on RockeTalk. Meet new people? Keeping up with friends? Hangout place? Instant Messenger usage? Picture messages? Videos? Games? Discussions? Flirting? What is it that keeps so many people engaged and coming back again and again? What is it that compels them to log in as soon as they open their eyes and sleep with their RockeTalk phones still in hands or next to their ears? Waiting for that Buzz in someone special’s voice? Is the voice factor so addictive? What is it that keeps RockeTalk buzzing? What makes these online connections as strong as, or at times, stronger than family ties.

As we get to the 1 million users mark, there are some interesting patterns that seem to be emerging. New data, user behaviour- from communication to entertainment, from serious debates on social issues to participating in contests, it is a pleasure to interact with all of you and get to know you.

So here is what ‘the-guy-who-is-always-on’ has to say about what goes on:

Happy New Year from the RockeTalk family!

I wanted to take this opportunity of the arrival of 2010 to highlight a few highlights of “what happens inside RockeTalk?”

A lot of activity occurs and it is hard to categorize what goes on…..so much goes on in the form of personal messages, exchanging ideas, flirting, singing songs, shaayari, jokes, playing contests, listening to talk shows, creating photos and videos, intense debates on various topics, connecting into Yahoo/Gtalk/MSN IM, family members connecting with other family members, following news and weather reports sent out by our users from cities across the world…….the list is long!

Here are some of the statistics that will give you a quantitative idea:

75M messages viewed (or played back) in the last month!

(over 2.4 Million messages in a 24 hour day)

Of these, 22% are voice (or audio messages – that means you guys talked a lot, sang songs, debated a lot……).

Over 11 Million photo/images and videos were viewed in the last month;

Over 3.4 Million profiles were viewed in the last month;

From the  hiptechnology  blog:

Moving beyond the 30 feet range- it gets even better… for when they can use voice give them the RockeTalk , a mobile social networking application. OK, it is the watered down version of Rocketalk. RockeTalk is known for voice and video messaging platform. Of special interest to students- it’s voice chat and video chat and also gives instant access to all the IMs- Yahoo, GTalk, MSN, AOL, ICQ. Hey, thats what everyone wants. Its right there at their fingertips. no need to download, just click on the logo! Word of caution- an unlimited data connection is recommended. Hey- but it works just fine on WiFi. So if you do happen to have access to WiFi, then even the data costs are zero!

Hiptechnology Factoid:

Betcha, even LG did not know this one- both RockeTalk and the Bluetooth technology have something common- the common link is Rajiv Kumar. Rajiv, IIT Mumbai, made significant contribution to the Wireless and Bluetooth (Widcomm) technology and, is also the visionary behind RockeTalk !
