I and Mayank had a great time at the social media club and presented what we had learned about product development working with kwippy. Mayank also took this opportunity to sign off and move away from kwippy to work on his own stuff. Here is the presentation, do forgive me if it is very abstract.
It gives me immensure pleasure to announce that Electrosocial (the web app development and social media company behind kwippy) is starting a six week internship program from the end of this month. The program is aimed at sharing the fundamentals of Social Media and imparting working knowledge with various tools and services of relevance. The internship would be completely online so that anyone from anywhere can join it. The internship program would consist of (but not limited to) the following:
- Emergence of Social Media
- Social Media Fundamentals
- Social Media Tools
- Social Media Values/Ethics
- Scope of Social Media in Marketing, Customer Service, Activism etc
- Social Media Metrics
- Legal Aspect of Social Media
The internship progam is completely free for all and the interns will also get certificates for the same at the end of internship. Since it’s an internship program, the interns will also get to work hands on our and a few other projects. This experience will be crucial in understanding how Social Media campaigns work, how tools are used, how reporting is done and more.
We are looking for interns(preferably freshers or college students). So if you are a web junkie willing to make a career in Social Media send us an email at internship@electrosocial.com.
Looking forward to some Social Media fun soon.

Preserving Status Quo:

This btw is one of the best descriptions that I’ve read about kwippy and hey there’s a mention of “Slideshare” there too. Also, this would be the first appearance of “yours socially” in print media
Three Cheers to Kwippy !!!
Hi Guys,
Just wanted to share that kwippy.com, India’s premier conversational platform was covered in yesterday’s Economic Times. For the uninitiated Economic Times is India’s Leading Business Newspaper run by Bennett, Coleman & Co Ltd. This is the first reference of Kwippy in mainstream Print Media. Here’s the complete news item.

Our chat bot is about an year old and has been running quite smoothly. The bot support the following functionality
1) Storing custom status messages
2) Sending kwips(updates) by sending messages
3) Receiving comments on kwips
4) Getting mentions of keywords on Twitter(Track)
5) Receiving latest kwips(updates) of users.
6) Subscribing to RSS feeds of blogs
Combined together these six features give a lot of power to the chat bot and this is not it, we’ve got plans for some more fancy things.So stay tuned and happy kwipping
