PaypalMerchants from India doing business through Paypal have reason to rejoice. Paypal has launched a new withdrawal feature. Users from 26 countries including Malaysia, India, Indonesia and the Philippines can transfer funds directly to their Visa® branded credit card, debit card or prepaid card. There is a withdrawal fee per transaction. And you must be a verified Paypal member. The following graphic sums up the withdrawal process.

ugaldo … blurt it out!

ugaldo (www.ugaldo.com) is just to express your feelings. You can submit any kind of content, currently it is not being monitored.

However, it seems that very soon, the model will change to something like digg.com or stumbleUpon.com. After you submit a post (or you blurt something), this site asks for a survey.

The title of survey page is currently, “Untitled Document”. Does this mean that website owners were too eager to go live or is that we were too quick to spot them ? The website has not mentioned anything about who owns it, but a whois look up revealed that the website has been registered in the name of Sahil Oberoi from Bangalore.

“Shout at your land lord, confess your sins, share mistakes, give out lessons, communicate ,screw somebody, gossip, vent out your rage, show your elation. Whatever it is… “

So, is this another Web 2.0 venture on social bookmarking ?
