India having 4th largest number of internet users

According to IWS, the top 5 countries with the most internet users are:

1 - China (298,000,000 users, or 22.4 percent of their population)

2 - US (227,190,989, or 74.7 percent)

3 - Japan (94,000,000, or 73.8 percent)

4 - India (81,000,000, or 7.1 percent)

5 - Brazil (67,510,400, or 34.4% percent) (ANI)

Two good things in the news:
1. India comes at the fourth position in terms of internet users.
2. There is a huge opportunity to grow as it is just currently 7.1% of the total population.

Salman Winner of Dance India Dance 2009

This is one of the rare series I have been following from last 2 months. Probably because dance is one thing I love doing and watching. So finally the results are out

DID Winner : Salman Khan
DID 1st Runner Up : Alisha Singh
DID 2nd Runner Up : Siddesh Pai
DID 4th Position : Jai Kumar Nair

For me, all the four are very good dancers having their own edges and are winner in their space. I am happy that these talents got such a good visibility and a kick start in their career. Cheers to all.
