Inside RockeTalk: A sneak-peek
Hey RockeTalkers!
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;
Over 3 Million Buzzes sent last month;
Over 2.6 Million searches for users within RockeTalk were made in the last month;
Over 2.5 Million comments were viewed;
Approx. 1 Million Friend Requests were sent out;
2511 new communities were created within this last month;
Thanks for being a part of RockeTalk

We know what you did last night ;)
The Wake-a-Thons are done for now, I was going through the fun things we all did. We got to know each other better. There was a lot of teasing, a lot of leg pulling, a lot of encouragement and a lot many friendships that came about as a result of these ’spent-the-night-with-you’ events.
Here are some fun audio clips for you to enjoy!

RockeTalk eXhausted Wake-a-Thon week 3
Winner of Last Week’s RockeTalk Wake-a-Thon Jitendra (Jeete)! Jeete won an iPod. Congratulations!!! 
The Wake-a-Thon is a great experience to get to know a large group of people. People who did not talk much in the communities and were rather quiet – opened p and quickly warmed up to the group setting. A resounding comment from them all to each other was- “I spent the nite with you- add me as a friend!” Needless to say I got a lot of material to tease them with on that spending the night together bit – by that time they were tired and sleepy and the words weren’t coming out quite right.
The ones who made it through the night all get Rs 500/- from RockeTalk towards their GPRS
Here is a sample of videos sent in by users:

RockeTalk: The evolution revolution
Dear RockeTalkers,
You asked for changes we made them.
And we made changes without your asking for them.
We hope you like the way RockeTalk has changed and evolved right before your eyes.
As you remember and keep talking about the colors, the screens and features of the past versions, we thought we would go back into our files and post some of the old screens (and new ones) to remind you of the good times we’ve all had, and continue to have, through the stages.
With encouragement from you, RockeTalk is now available for download on over 340 mobile phone models. If you have a model that we have not yest covered, please send your request to support@rocketalk.com
At times we have to let go of some features but we keep listening and try to make sure that we react quickly and meet any popular requests or high priority usability issues pointed out by you. And if necessary, add some of the features back. If there is something that you absolutely must have on RockeTalk, please write to feedback@rocketalk.com or ping me (amita) when I am online.
(No, I am not a bot. I need to eat, sleep, and attend to nature’s calls- just like you. An ocassional shower or outing doesn’t hurt either )
Thanks for all your wonderful feedback. RockeTalk would not be where it is today without your active participation.
Hope to catch you for a session of Antaakshri in Bollywood Hungaama or a impromptu Mushaira in Mehfil. Or in Flirts. Or Babel. Or …. I’m sure you’ll catch me ….
Keep those jokes and videos coming. (Yep. Heard you. We are increasing the size for uploading videos )
As always, we give you the application. You make it fun.
Love to you all.
Amita
(On behalf of the RockeTalk team)
