On the Internet, B2B (business-to-business), also known as e-biz, is the exchange of products, services, or information between businesses rather than between businesses and consumers. Although early interest centered on the growth of retailing on the Internet (sometimes called e-tailing), forecasts are that B2B revenue will far exceed business-to-consumers (B2C) revenue in the near future. According to studies published in early 2000, the money volume of B2B exceeds that of e-tailing by 10 to 1. Over the next five years, B2B is expected to have a compound annual growth of 41%. The Gartner Group estimates B2B revenue worldwide to be $7.29 trillion dollars by 2004. In early 2000, the volume of investment in B2B by venture capitalists was reported to be accelerating sharply although profitable B2B sites were not yet easy to find. B2B Web sites can be sorted into: Company Web sites, since the target audience for many company Web sites is other companies and their employees. Comp...

Updated post:- I have to go through a long hassle of making Weblogic work on my MacBook. Few things which I learned and would like to share: -Before starting to install you have to trick the installer into thinking that the local JDK is the generic Sun JDK. If you skip this step the installer will not accept the default Mac OS X JDK and complain that it is Invalid. $ cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home $ sudo mkdir -p jre/lib $ cd jre/lib $ sudo touch rt.jar $ sudo touch core.jar -To Install, run the following command from terminal : (Updated for the "fatal error occurred while installing 10.3.2") $ java -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -jar -Dos.name=unix -jar server103_generic.jar -Once installation is completed, Create a new domain through "./config.sh" from "/bea/wlserver_103/common/bin" -Once the domain is created: --Need to update the env setting in " .setDomainEnv.sh " file i.e. locat...

And now as we plan to celebrate our first anniversary, we remember you all wonderful people whom we have met during last year. So guys! Gear-up.

Every time I open a news channel, I see the same discussion or news here. People all around the world (including India) are protesting & shouting about the same thing … Why Israelis are firing rockets on the school building in Gaza? Why they are killing civilians in Gaza? I say why not? Hamas was firing rockets on the southern Israel from the school buildings in Gaza. Israelis showed the videos capturing Hamas firing rockets from the school buildings to justify their action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLbZyWZI3hU I think Indian leadership should learn something from Israel. Israel worth the life of their citizen and this demonstrate how committed their leadership is to protect their citizens. I don’t know when it’s going to happen, but I would like to see same level of commitment from my Indian leaders towards us. But Israeli reply to the Hamas attach is not a viable solution for Indo-Pak problem. We can, but we shouldn’t go in a bloody battle with Pakistan. I want to...

I am not sure how many of you are going to agree with me on this..... But whenever I have to look back into the past, college time is definately the time I want to look back. And surely it will bring a smile on my face. becoz “This is the only time in our life, which we spend most of it with ourselves”. You gave most of the time in exploring yourself, watching changes in you and trying lot of weird things, which we won’t be doing for rest of our life. It is the time when you learn, not through the books but you dig into life to write your own laws. This is the time when you understand the actually meaning & strength of words like “friendship” and “teamwork”. Then you start doing wonders with it ... (gang wars , strikes, cricket games etc.) In College, Some time things will become as beautiful as dreams for you, and sometime it will get unsympathetic towards you. But that’s the real test time and I would say “Never hesitate to help others in your good days and never ask for one in ...

How great is the fact that the Lord is always at work and He is always faithful! We can look back and see how much he has done for us. Is not it an amazing promise “that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day"..

I was walking alone, along the roads of my life.. cherishing our sweet memories. I walked enough to reach the milestone. But then I realize, Without u this accomplishment has no meaning for me.. So here I am walked all the way back to hold your hand and start it again… together this time. :)

Today, I got the chance to experience a eye-catching spectacle which surely is going to be an ever lasting memory for my stay in New Jersey, US.. My first snow fall.. Waked up on one of the most chilly morning in US (at least till now..) .. My sense can fell some thing unusual happening outside... I jumped out of the bed and to the balcony … to see the most stunning view, I could imagine in my prettiest dreams , It was snowing there.. Could see the beautiful white snow sheet all around over every thing that could hold it.. Cars, Trees .. even on balcony.. Thank God for blessing me with this sight to view ur every miracle...

I don't know what the hell I am doing here … Company doesn't pay you for this… Theoretical I should be writing huge java codes for sending emails or to do intricate computations over data… In fact, there were lot of people who have been pushing me to write blogs.. (Yes Shiv!! I am talking about you...) I am quite bemused where to start from… HUHHHH !!! I am not a cricketer or a film actor so that you would like to follow my personal life and professional life is so monotonous to script it… not as droning as I m sounding. In fact daily I spent great time in my office (Great times!!!! You would think like I am kidding to you or writing it for my seniors who would be visiting this blog… but it’s true!!!! I am working around very cool team, never felt like office)... and it gives me enormous gratification to say that I am the youngest member of this team… When I joined they delighted me with an opportunity to work with such an experienced team (Minimum I know he had around 4 years...
