Don’t have much time for a full post, so a small roundup:

• Google goes hindi. In a related news, it also launched the Finance service for China. Do it for India – the markets have gone bonkers!
• Jason Calacanis analyzes the Facebook hype. It is not a Google killer. Period. And I hate some Facebook apps that allow people to chuck things at me.
• Daily WTF – Copyright stupidity – Act One.
• Daily WTF – Copyright stupidity – the Grand Act. Sue a Durga Puja pandal of all things!!

Sample this:

• Man makes video.
• Viacom uses video, without the man’s approval.
• Man uploads Viacom’s video featuring his video on Youtube.
• Viacom sues man.

Sounds absurd? Sure does to me. And to this guy it is “bass-ackwards.“
