RE: My Jobs Widget

Thanks very much for the good news, Mr Hemen… Really appreciate your consistent follow-ups with Datawind to make this happen.. Glad to know about your conversation with Swipe Telecom as well.

Did you finalize on the advertizing model that they would adopt ?

Best Regards,

Geetha

Dear  Geetha

This review will interest you

http://www.hindustantimes.com/technology/PersonalTech-Updates/The-Aakash-is-back-and-shines-in-sneak-peeks/SP-Article1-932630.aspx

Only yesterday , Mr Jasjit Singh of Datawind confirmed that the 100,000 Aakash2 , to be supplied to IIT-Bombay in Oct / Nov , will carry “ My Jobs “ pre-installed

Last week , I also got positive indication from Swipe Telecom ( Pune ) that they are seriously considering pre-installing My Jobs on all of their tablets

With regards

Dear Mr. Hemen,

Thanks very much for the update on the Jobs Widget.  I am sorry that I too did not touch base with you for a long time.

  I appreciate your efforts to improve the usage of the Jobs widget, and do look forward to a time when the Job widget can start making ‘real’ advertising revenue.

  I am in principle fine with sharing the source code of the Job widget, but we may need to go through a small non-disclosure agreement to ensure that the code is not used for any other purpose nor is it re-distributed or open sourced.  Let me check if we have such forms. I will get back to you by next week for the same.

Meanwhile, I suggest that we promote our SMS and voice interface for the Jobs widget to get more from the masses to continue to use your portal. SiteOnMobile  is still live and we will be adding more features as well.

Wishing you well.

Thanks and regards

Geetha

Dear  Geetha

It has been quite a long time since I updated you on the latest about  My Jobs widget  which you developed for RecruitGuru

This is where it stands at the moment :

Ø   It has been integrated with InMobi Ad Network and can be downloaded from our web site as well as from Google Play

Ø   Datawind , not being happy with the fill-rate of InMobi , have tied up with Yahoo Ad Network

Ø   Yahoo model will be CPM ( InMobi is CTR )

Ø   Despite a wait of over 6 months , Datawind has , so far , not received Yahoo SDK

Ø   Till this time , neither My Jobs nor other apps selected by Datawind , can be integrated

Ø   In the meantime Datawind also ran into difficulties with regard to specs from IIT-Rajasthan and deliveries from QUAD corp

Ø   Govt asked IIT-Bombay to come up with revised specs for Aakash2 , which they did

Ø   Datawind delivered 1000 samples ( as per new specs ) to IIT-B , which were tested and approved

Ø   Aakash2 is expected to be launched by Kapil Sibal on Sept 22

Ø   Datawind has to deliver 100,000 tablets to IIT-B , as per new specs

Ø   Now Datawind has started sourcing tablets from some Chinese manufacturer

Ø   As far as their commercial ( non-govt ) versions, Ubislate 7+ and Ubislate 7C , are concerned , Datawind are sourcing the same from VMC Corp – Hyderabad

Ø   So far there is very little publicity – and , consequently very little usage – of My Jobs Widget

Ø   My efforts to persuade other tablet manufacturers to pre-install My Jobs , continue

As soon as there is any significant development , I will keep you informed

In the meantime , is it possible for you to send me the source-code for My Jobs widget ?

I am not interested in your Tasklet Technology based code . Just the Android code for the app

This will help us to quickly carry out small improvements on our own , without imposing ourselves on your valuable resources, again and again

I await your favorable decision

With regards
