Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

====================================================================================

When I read any book, I scribble my comments / notes in the margins


These reflect my views / opinions about what the author is saying – including my disagreement

Often, my comments are in the nature of telling myself :

Hey ! We should try out this idea in our own business ( Head-hunting / Online Recruitment )

Following are my comments re :


=====================================================================================


Page No 06

·         Mobile phones.

Page no 12

·         It is 100% for WWJ & GR

Page No 22

·         This was written 10 yrs. ago. I suppose engineers must have figured this outgo how.

Page No 28

·         The issue of “information overload “has come true,-10 yrs. After this was written – giving rise to a new industry of to had us limit our – info. Brokers-   

·         Candice’s/ options – info intermediates     

Page No 29

·         (Amount = 160 character SMS)

·         (MEANS =   1 “X 1” screen of a mobile) = Exp of JAM RAM

·         This could be reason why JAM IS taking long to take- off.

·         Too many choices.

Page No 30

·         Jam is all about “less is more “application & needs very little band width

Page No 31

·         JAM, exactly does this.

Page no 32

·         I have earlier noted (in my note) that “apply online “sms from fresh graduates (desperate in need of jobs) = should be Rs 1 / instead of Rs 3 /=

Page no 34    

·         We are already getting internet on local cable network – and phone company (BSNL)

·         (Reliance etc.) Are planning to deliver TV contact.

Page no 36

·         JAM SMS messages are quite similar in their delivery. Each 160 character SMS is unique and gets delivered to only that person for whom it is “composed” (thru matching of job-preferences) Each massage must be taking few micro seconds – hence several thousand can be delivered (to different persons )   within an hour. This logic will get extended in job advt. broadcast (JAB) AND resume Alert Broadcast (RAB).

Page No 45

·         Z- TV charges nearly Rs- 4000 per year.

Page no 47

·         Can we make global recruiter, both popular & unique? Popular by making it “plug play “and unique by offering RAB/ JAB?

·         SEC GE page “differentiate”

·         Yet to happen in 2005

·         Video –conferencingching equipment’s of all TV studios are computers. 

Page no 48

·         What is more likely is hat TV will ass features of computers rather than other way around keyboard & mouse are clumsy –remote is very convenient censor to “  illiterate villagers

Page no 49

·         Already from ¾ angles.

Page no 50

·         When this happens, TV broadcasters would be able to “source “jobalret (form world –wide job)

·         For each unique subscriber/ viewer (since each TV will have a unique IP address), and deliver it, once-day (like JAM) or throughout the day (like JAB).

·         Subscriber’s TV wills these alerts and subscriber will choose his time to view at leisure.

·         Then when he feels like “applying” against any particular jobalret, he will simply “click on job no (on the TV screen) with his remote! WW will get the “message “(thru broadcast) and will deliver (email) the resume to the job—advertiser.

·         PC/ TV /NEWSBOAPERS / MOBAIL PHONE/ RADAIO’S’

Page No 55

·         We are already getting BBC radio on TV as a channel.

Page no 58

·         May be this is why, for last 2/3 years Murdoch is taking more interest in internet.

Page no 60

·         What JAM does? / Q

Page no 63

·         In last 8 months, we have downloaded close to 500.000 job advs. Major jobsite. We centime to download 50000 / 70000 event month .i have plans to re-use these for a profile.

Page no 70

·         At some stage (on relabeled recruit guru) I have planned to show “related word” when mouse Carson moves over a keyword in a resume. This will help recruiters probe, a candidates’ know-ledge.  Harnessing knowledge of HR mgrs...

Page no 71

·         Job –advs.dowenloaded from various jobsite can be rendered in many different ways depending upon the needs of the users.

Page no 72

·         “Where a jobs? - We are showing as tabulations as also graphs.

Page no 76

·         Grid computing & parallel processing, / Q 

Page No 77

·         Same job Advt can get delivered to a thousand jobseekers (simul  timeously) –all of whom, are interested in it.

Page no 78

·         In WWJ (JAM) & global Recruiter, WE will own the gift, with mobile services providers, making no “value – addition “= except transmitting those gift, bricks forth   

Page no 79

·         This is already happening with regularity.

Page no 80

·         We are in to get manufacturing & MSP / newspapers are in to gift distntntion.

Page no 84

·         E.g. after 2 years “we own SMS gateway & short code”

Page no 85

·         Let us, say running WWJ code Rs, 3.00.000/ lakh month i.e.RS – 10.000/= PER DAY

·         If we make 25 p on each premium SMS (VALUE added sms), then we need to get 40.000/ any

·         Volume above this no.will produces profit. How long will it take to reach this no?

·         This month, so far, there have been less than 1 sms / day! (21 in 29 day) so we have a long a way to go, to breakeven!

Page no 90

·         Cannot agree more.

Page no 94

·         Close to 15 features now!

Page no 101

·         Right now, they are looking like “puppies- the robot – toys of japan, which can” listen & react.

Page no 111

·         Could JAM –JAB-RAM-RAB FALL IN TO THIS?

Page No 118

·         Way back 1957/98, I learned driving at uni- of Kansas and got tested on such a machine!

·         This situation was there and broke too.

Page no 119

·         I am sure all this has changed in last 10 years.

·         Even this must have game.

Page no 123

·         A brad 15 day back matches hits ( Panasonic) announced that they are working on a 3D                                                                         - TV which they expect to set ready by 2020! It project from a horizontal flat screen lying on the floor with characters projected in the air

Page no 129

·         Welcome/ sound cards/ speakers/ microphones / software’s / (MS messenger / Google talk / skipped / has made this possible,

Page no 130

·         Biomet’s are quite advanced by now –is specially after 9/11,

·         They are ready for pinging in a we beam. 

·         Mobile phones already have cameras built in, which can take a photo & send it across witlessly to any other mobile camera.

Page no 136

·         Physicist Stephen hawking just got a new hardware / software baked on this .he will simply look at alphabets on a screen to speed works.

Page no 146

·         I have used one like this as late as 2000. 

 Page no 152

·         We have done this in jam – although bit crude-but a personal anger, none the less.

·         Announced a few months back & expected to go into commercial production by 2007,

Page no 153

·         Customized for each reader.

·         JAM does this quite well.

·         In, another 6 weeks, we (global) Recruiter (WWJ) will start delivering Resume alert to HR mgrs.. Within minutes of a suitable resume setting posted on any partner we lite.

Page no 154

·         After a few months, we will deliver JAM to a subscriber; at exact time specified by him while filing in “job preference” from.

·         AS soon as SMS can get bigger (say 500 characters instead of 160), JAM will include skills- related keywords, found in job-advt.

·         JAS (job Advt-summary) which we have started emailing to 480 newspapers daily far last ane month

Page no 155

·         This also applies to job searching on 500 jobsites by the time you go thru all these vacancies would be filled!

·         Must-liquate advanced by now.

·         A candidates “apply online” history will tell us, what, his are “like” which citadel what vacancy –names / employers etc. with sufficient data, we can see some “trend”.

Page no 158

·         We have yet to try this.

·         “Job pref form” is the interface.

·         Could global Recruiter be such a “decent razed structure?” this is JAM

Page No 159

·         When we make available 1) data about which companies advertise where & how of ten

·         2) A marketing tool (emailing of proposals to companies to)

·         (200 panther website of global recruiter) – Independent agent,

·         Will they act in “unison”? Will they all target (to send their email offers) same corporates?

Page no 165

·         Today more than 100.000/ Americans are working from home & no – will grow.

Page no 166

·         Already 350,000 / BPO working in India are working for their foreign client- many at right.

·         I am sure this has changed, too. In 1995 yahoo Google, hot mail did not exist.

Page no 167

·         NO more leisure, with 100 emails reaching every exeuritve’s mail box every day.

Page no 168

·         Video on Demand / Record all shows automatically & view when you want – your own personal/ individually customized TV program schedule.

Page no 169

·         JAM is a small sample of this demand into.

Page no 170

·         Jam is such an agent.

·         I hope, JA6 will make them come to WWJ – and onto JAM I must get some 100 newspapers to publish JAS.

Page No 171

·         We have today sent a fresh, s column payout of JAS to free press Jamal .if FPJ starts printing JAS every day, it would become easy to convince other newspaper. And beauty of JAS is that each newspaper can “customize” directly on its own (on world –wide-jobs.com) what jobAdvts –summary (JAS), it want to receive – which, it think, will interest its readers.  If we can manage to get 100 local / small newspapers, spread all over India, to start publishing .JAS, WWJ can get tremendous FREE publicity! Only then can JAM successes.

Page no 172

·         We are able to after JSA,because, we are a daily downloading  2500 jobAdvts from 3 jobsites in course of time ,we will step –up ,so we could after wiser choice & get more newspaper interested .but, we are simu transpose building-up a huge “library” of old job-advs. May be a million or more per year. And this library is already “digital” there will be many uses / commercial uses for this archival convened, which we will have monopoly.

Page no 174

·         Each jobsites is on “channel “of job-advt.and there ane over 40.000/ worldwide.one author shames 16 mil (ion job-Advt posted .on these at any time.

·         The possible laities for jam are mind boggling! We have picked up but one grain of sand, from the beaches of the world! Others! Others are bound to follow our “Aggregation and customization” business-model. We will see developments when global Recruiter gets launched next month (oct.2005)

Page no 179

·         This is no different in case of 16 million job- Advt from 40.000 jobsite. Only an “agent” can deal with such info- overloaded.

·         A “rating” of a resume is a bit about other bits and instead by recruitment mgrs. . . .”Keyword”

·         Which describe the contents of a resume?

Page no 180

·         Our 160 character sms in JAM / RAM etc. are “headers” for full jobAdvts. Or full resume.

Page no 186 

·         Yesterday Samsung announced a 16 gab chip which store 32 hours of video!

Page no 194

·         I suppose, by now, there must be far more standardization or Wi-Fi not = spots.

Page no 201

·         Perhaps when response wrote this word RFID (RADIO FREQUENCY) idealization device) was not coined.  

Page no 210
prototypes are now appearing

·         Prototypes for powernaps ( re-charging ) mobile phone batteries on the horizon:

·         Sugar powered  2)crank-powered  3)solar powered  4) unique powered 5) Ethan oil”

Page no 212

·         Global recruiter can be called “smart-ready” it delivers”pre-wired” objects to the partner websites. 

Page no 213

·         Only $ 14300/ = in 2005.see newspaper cutting.

Page no 216

·         These days most USA cars come equipped with GPS

Page No 229

·         WE are trying to do some –thing similar in GR each panther wdbiteacting as a low cost palled presser.

Page no 237

·         What GR will try to do next?
