Udayan Banerjee of NIIT :
That was a nice presentation which made me remeber by college days. But the presentation was a very useful one on Ruby. It really induced me to look into the Ruby and other related things in the days to come. Check out for his open source project in the Site - Rich Ruby.
He is planning to have separate controllers for the view or client side and the Data Access or the server side.
Cheers - Ranjith

MyToday A news/rss aggregator that can give an aggregation of different news and blogs site on a single page. I dont see much of difference with these applications from the other news aggregators technically. But they differ in the way they present the data out on the web. I had a quick look on to the service. It looks good on the way it showed the news and will be great for the readers who will be brushing the tips - high view on the each and every news around.
I would like to read the complete entry from the blogs and other rss feeds without a click. My view is to just scroll the right side of the bloglines and keep on reading the feeds. I have my oun previous way of reading a summary on my bloglines and rest on the publishers URL.
I need mytoday makes me click too many links on the page.
Cheers - Ranjith

Aswin Anand and Moyeen of JEPPIAR had done a very good project of their final year.
It aggregates the mails from different service provider to a one common server. This services gets everything of the mail other than the attachments for the Mobile version.
Good that you can check your mails on the fly. The people around the camp were little cautious about the privacy policy and sercurity of the password and the mail ids they give over this service. But my view is once they launch this as a service. This will go great to have a great number of audience to live with this.
Guys :- Don’t worry that every one have your password online and greasemonkey scripts and loaded javascripts can read a lot of things from your browser and steal your password.
Looking forward for the service to be up.
Checkout the service as of now
Cheers - Ranjith
