I hope you all are doing great ? I know difficult question in such difficult times with the economic downturn going all across the world and everyone directly or indirectly has been affected someway or the other. At this moment I can just say "Every Cloud has a silver lining" so be positive in such hopeless times. 😃. And one thing that happened good about this recession is that it gave us the time to sit and think on how we can improve our systems, re-organize and work more efficiently and better co-ordination among different teams.
Recently I happened to interact with a lot of people from the industry and frankly it was flattering as they have really amazing things to tell how seriously they take all the comments, criticism, appreciation and really keep a track on what our members feel about the show and how India-Forums.com has evolved as an unique platform which brings the audience and the TV industry together for better interaction and constructive feedback. So thank you guys and we hope we are able to make this even better.
Said that I would also like to add that we understand that there are many things we have done could have been done better or may be things that we can add and be sure we are continuously working towards that and this time my mantra is "less talk more work". 😆
Some of the ideas that right now that are going around in my mind (not in exact order):
- Mobile versions of TellyBuzz and our Bollywood section including the exclusive Videos.
- Mobile version of India-Forums.com
- Multiple PMs (now its time to do it)
- Relaunch the IF-Addicts
- Have a Point system as an incentive for generating interesting content and one can earn more points by visiting IF regularly, by getting thank you, referring to friends and more.
- Better site search so that we can straight away find things that we are looking for.
- Active User List
- Celebrity Forums
- Movies / Movie Reviews
- Chaska Meter automation
- Celebrity Popularity Meter
- Widgets for visitors to add to their blogs, sites and homepages.
- myFavorites to bookmark and easy navigation to different sections like Forums, Celebrities, Movies
- Use social networks and sites like YouTube, MySpace, Orkut, Facebook to promote India-Forums and its content.
- And last but not the least that I am thinking about but keeping it under wraps which we feel is going to really rock this place....
Cheers, (if you all have not yet fallen asleep)
Vijay 😊
