We in India have always felt frustrated with services like Google maps which don’t give driving directions for places here in India.
Here’s a cool service called MapmyIndia which gives you driving directions in some of the major cities in India.

Onyourmo is a location based service which gives you the nearest restaruants, bars, atms, cinemas around your area of interest.

For users on the go, a wap version of the site is available at: http://owap.in/

Here’s a cool piece of info I came across today. As part of Google’s image search, they have an option to search for human faces within search results.
Try this on for size: First let’s search for London at Google’s image search:
http://images.google.com/images?q=london
now if you were actually looking for people called London, use add this to the end of the URL - &imgtype=face. Try it out
http://images.google.com/images?q=london&imgtype=face
Cool, ain’t it?

I’ve started uploading the pics from our ongoing HCI course over at Flickr.

I may be off the blog for two weeks while I’m attending a HCI usability course at IIT Mumbai. Not the best of times to head out to Mumbai - it’s the rainy season and the place is a mess.
