“After the voting closes at midnight tonight, we will process the votes through the servers,” he said.

Bhatnagar said there are huge fluctuations in vote volumes all over the world, but if the current pace of voting from India is maintained, the 17th century white marble monument should make it to the list of the seven wonders.

“It’s like a one-day cricket match now,” he said.

The official declaration ceremony is scheduled to begin at Estadio da Luz in Lisbon between 0030 and 0100 am IST Sunday and will continue till 3.45 am, he said.

Like traveling around the world? The current Seven Wonders of the World are outdated and the search is on for defining the New 7 Wonders of the World. The initiative started in 2000. Experts considered the 77 sites with the highest number of votes and shortlisted 21 finalists on January 1, 2006.

After a final 18 months of voting by the global public, the New 7 Wonders of the World will be announced during the Official Declaration ceremony in Lisbon, Portugal on Saturday, July 7, 2007 or 07.07.07.

The final year of the campaign will be marked with a World Tour (travel agents get busy!) visiting all 21 finalist wonders and a TV series to be produced by the world’s leading television production company Endemol. See the N7W World Tour Calendar, check with your travel agency and plan a trip to India to visit the Taj.

Well, in India it’s not much of a hoax really.

India Post’s ePost system allows anyone with Internet access to send email to those without it and vice versa. The logistically ambitious project is emblematic of modern India: Though it’s a global technology powerhouse, life for many of its people hasn’t changed much in centuries. A quarter of Indians live below the poverty line, and only about 6% use the Internet.

Using ePost, anyone can send an email to a local post office, where it is printed and hand delivered. In reverse, rural patrons can handwrite letters and have them translated into emails. Delivery by ePost-gram costs less than 25 cents per page and usually takes a day, compared with about a week by snail mail. R.R.P. Singh, a general manager of marketing with India Post, says he has heard of expatriates using ePost to reach relatives back home who are off the grid. “You can talk about any technology you like–but somewhere the last mile has to be walked by somebody,” Singh says.

Now India Post is aiming the service at corporate customers with bigger budgets, promoting ePost as a way to easily and affordably reach the unconnected masses. A recent upgrade to the technology, in fact, allows emailers to reach 9,999 addresses at once. That’s right: Even villagers on the wrong side of the digital divide can enjoy the wonders of corporate spam.

Then of course, the mobile arena - nokia and sony ericcson themes, wallpapers, games and software. All of them free downloads. Also tips and tricks to utilise your cellphone to the maximum. Smartphones are made to be used - not just as eye candy.

Then info about websites dugg or stumbled upon - ones that maybe del.icio.us or furled.

All these things and more to be wordpressed.
