Tuesday nights are our very own RJ Ajayr’s night and this time he chose to do a feature or rather a discussion on the 3 Idiots. I must stop right here to tell you that I have not watched the movie yet. Yes, it was screen in San Diego for a couple days and I COULD NOT MAKE IT. Sorry Goldspirt Films. Sorry Vijay and Shalni. Sorry Aamir. But most of all I am sorry for myself  

For all you newbies- every evening and sometimes at other times between 9:30pm and till whenever it ends (usually 3 hrs or so) we have fun ‘events’ like a radio talkshow – but different. There are hosts or RJs who introduce the topics and then everyone participates in the discussion. So very unlike Radio or television where things are pretty one sided, this is a live, all inclusive show where everyone can, well, speak up. As RockeTalk is all about the mobile phones, our audiences and participants are on the mobile phones and are from all over the world. From the well connected US to the remote places in India- anyone can participte or just listen in.

The highlights of this week Tuesday night’s program:

Kareena Kapoor: The only idiot? Or is it plain jealousy? LOL

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.

RockeTalk_flirting_RockeTalk_style_full_sequence

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!

It is nice to have the application as a preload on LG but we would like to add that RockeTalk is available for free download on over 400 handsets- on both Symbian and JAVA platforms. We work on Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, LG and a few other phones.

Free downloads available at http://www.rocketalk.com/get_it_now.php or from your mobile phone http://m.rocketalk.com

Depending on the phone’s capabilities, not all features are supported on all the models.

LG India press release:

“GB210 and KP265 come with the RockeTalk feature. RockeTalk is a Social Networking and Instant Messengers aggregation application. The feature lets users log onto Gtalk, Yahoo Messenger, or send a message in any combination of text, voice, pictures, audio or video to anyone, anywhere in the world. With various free online usage options like downloads, video chat messaging, unlimited group chat, unlimited text messaging etc.”

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 !

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.

This video is a great example of what RockeTalk is all about. Whatever you need to do: pass your time, chat with friends, make new friends, download ringtones, play games and lots of other fun stuff, you can do it all with RockeTalk.

So wjat are you waiting for, download RockeTalk from http://m.rocketalk.com and start making new friends, showing off your vocal talents to your friends, and get their feedbacks on your new looks and dress

I work as a marketing intern at RockeTalk. And being in USA, I must consider a number of factors before calling or texting my family or friends in other countries, for example time difference, and call or text charges.

After getting acquainted with RockeTalk, I introduced it to my family and friends back in India.  Before, if I wanted to talk to my old friends (most of whom are in India) I had two options either I could call them or I could wait for them to come online on an IM.  Plus the time difference made it very difficult, because when they are awake I am asleep and vice a versa.

So I asked couple of my closest friends to download RockeTalk on their mobile phones.  And now it’s so easy, and convenient for all of us to be in regular contact and that too without spending hundreds of dollars on calls or text messages.

One of these closest friends is getting married and I’m not able go to India to attend it. As soon as I told her I couldn’t attend, she immediately sent me a voice and picture message via RockeTalk that had 3-4 snaps of her wedding dress.

Her next voice message to me was “I am going to miss you, but don’t worry.   You will not miss a single thing.   You will get all sorts of photos and video clips of the whole event.”   It’s the next best thing to being there.

That was my wonderful experience with RockeTalk, Just download RockeTalk, then tell us YOUR amazing story!
