C and D from Objectwin

This time is ObjectWin technologies. I got a letter threatening a lawsuit. In the letter they even mentioned that if I display that letter somewhere on the web, they'd sue me for Copyright Infringement.

My advises to all to deal with this company with extreme caution.

Paging introduced - Popular Demand

I've introduced paging with the comments on popular demand. Some goolti companies have more than 30 comments for them. Loading all the comments at one time was becoming quite a performance hit on the servers. Also, it was not a good user experience. Hence, paging has been introduced.

The launch of http://docstock.in

Taking a cue from the success of Goolti.com I started realizing that there are many spaces where Public reviews/opinions will be very useful.

Hence, I've launched http://www.docstock.in, a review site very similar to goolti.com. Its intended at finding the right doctors/clinics/hospitals across India for satisfactory medical treatment.

Please visit the site and contribute for public good.

Thanks,
Harshal Vaidya

Apologies

Apologies for multiple things. Writing Reviews & Search features were down for more than a week. Actually, I was too busy with work and family issues and hence couldn't get time to properly test all the features. I got a day free yesterday and fixed all the issues. Let me know how do you find the new Search by Region feature. All kinds of comments are welcome.

This months biggest spammers

As you guys already know, I get a lot and a lot of spam. These spam posts are mostly from the Goolti's who want to raise the general public opinion about their company which is in fact tarnished.

This entire month I would like to award a Goolti company which goes by the name of "APEX Technology Group", the SPAM award. Their employees have been spamming the Goolti forum with about 6 posts EVERY DAY!

They thought they could game the system, but then there are intelligent people all over the world :-)

5 Days of downtime

Goolti.com is up after about 5 days of downtime. Unfortunately the hosting providers were migrating their servers to a different platform and messed up during the migration!

Introduction of Captcha

There has been heavy spamming by automatic bots from last few weeks. I was manually rejecting around 20-30 spam posts everyday. This was becoming a huge headache.

To control this, I introduced captcha which completely avoids the autobot spam successfully. The captcha is now fully active.
