Bowling Wizards new bowling game by Nextwave Multimedia
Nextwave Multimedia , a digital multimedia Company based in Chennai has launched an interesting bowling game named ” Bowling Wizards!
It’s an interesting and fun filled game, so here is the story line,
The Wizard world is in crisis. Here the ‘Bowlons’ and the ‘Pines’ had lived harmoniously till the Evil Lord cast his spell on the ‘Pines’ who have taken over the land and enslaved the ‘Bowlons’. This is where the game begins, Gamers play for the Bowlons against the Pines in the fight to break their shackle and liberate WizardLand.
WizardLandcomprises, for now of the 2 islands, Airea and Ruins (with 3 more islands to be added soon). The islands are divided into levels, each level having distinct environment, with different game play. In each level the gamer has to knock down all the Pines. Packed with concealed surprises and magic, the challenges are daunting. The Pines and Bowlons have a mind of their own; the bowling alleys are mysterious and misleading, sometime zigzagged, sometime curved…..So intelligent strategy and clever game play is obligatory to win.
The Game is made using Blender 2.49 for the 3D models and Unity 3D game engine for the game development. Game was launched in Nokia Store, AppStore for iOS devices (iPhone, iPod Touch & iPads) Android Market, Mac AppStore, and Chrome store.

United States is India’s Best Friend in Cyberspace
The United States has been revealed as India’s best friend in cyberspace, according to a unique new league table released by Western Union, one of the world’s most globally connected brands. The league table has been created using data from Western Union’s Your World Facebook Application, which visualises each user’s Facebook connections around the globe and gives them a score for how globally connected they are. Your World has enjoyed more than 250,000 hits worldwide since its launch in July this year, as individual users compete in the Western Union® Network Challenge: a hunt for the world’s most globally networked person on Facebook. On the 18th of October Western Union will announce the winner – and reveal an opportunity for them to use their global network as a force for good.
With so much aggregate data being generated by Your World, Western Union has been able to build a bird’s eye view of how different countries connect to one another on Facebook. The data reveals India’s top ten best friends in cyberspace: those countries where Facebook users in India have the most Facebook connections. The results show how social media is shrinking the world we live in – with some of the India’s closest friends in cyberspace based thousands of miles away in the real world:
United States
United Kingdom
United Arab Emirates
Australia
Canada
Singapore
Saudi Arabia
Indonesia
Malaysia
Philippines
Western Union launched the Your World Application and associated Western Union Network Challenge in July this year to mark its 160th Anniversary and celebrate its unique status as one of the world’s most globally connected brands. With approximately 470,000 locations in 200 countries and territories turning over 19 transactions per second, Western Union has a greater physical presence than any other company globally – and ten times more locations than famous global restaurant chain, McDonald’s. Western Union President and CEO, Hikmet Ersek, said: “We’re delighted that so many consumers have been enjoying Your World. It not only gives them a fun way to see their global network, but as a business provides us with a fascinating bird’s eye view of how countries around the world connect to one another. Western Union has been privileged to connect people across the globe for more than 160 years, so this kind of insight is invaluable.” He added: “On the 18th of October we will be announcing the winner of the Western Union Network Challenge – the Your World user who has the most global connections. We will be inviting him or her to partner with us to use their network as a force for good. So I would urge anyone who has not yet tried out the Application to give it a go.”

Painful experience of Customer Service
I am now standing at the outlet of one of India’s leading mobile service providers. They claim that they are India’s No. 1 Network. Now my problem is I have a data card, I don’t know the number but I want to recharge the data card, the ever smiling Customer service representative says she can’t say the mobile number as the card is blocked. I ask ”but you will have some way to identify the mobile number right?” , she blinks and check with the guy standing next and after 5 mins of discussion she says she can find but will take ONE full day and before I could come out of the shock and react she is already talking to another so called ” valuable customer”.
I am sure you all have similar experiences of ” Customer delight”. Now enough of barking, throwing the handset or abusing the customer care representative.
Here is another way to vent out your frustration. my friend SenthilNayagam has started a site named @customerpain (very aptly named). This site integrates with Twitter. You tweet about your frustration and the site will pick it up
It is a wonderful tool to resolve the complaints. Now start tweeting your bad customer service experience, you don’t know they may try to resolve it! I am still waiting at the outlet,sipping a cold coffee from the adjacent coffee shop of the same group and wondering how to tweet, I don’t have a data card you know!
