Update : Well, the turn-out exceeded expectations! There were 72 usability enthusiasts.
One of the main highlights of the evening was the presentation made by Shivaram ( a visually challenged Professor) who beautifully voiced out his accessibility requirements. A quiz competition was organized by the Satyam blokes too.
The man behind the event was Rajesh, without his efforts, this event would not have been possible. Moving forward, a Chennai Usability e-group is already formed. Plans include offline monthly meetings. As for me, am shuttling between the cities.

hai friends
Hai friend, this is jaya….
I am new to forums, I am going to start with a new technology information to all…..
My friend is staying in Mumbai… On her birthday I try to wish her at mid night 12 ‘o’ clock but I am working in call center in nightshift, I should not suppose to use mobile phone inside the office. So I really confused how to wish her, at that time I heard about touch live…….
Touch live is a voice card , we can record our own voice message, fix up the date and time and enter the contact numbers, then the message will reach the person at that time.
Then only I feel happy………
next day I call her, she told me that she received the voice message by sharp 12 ‘o’ clock.
Its amazing ya…
If u all want more details about it means visit the website www. touchlive.in
awesome idea jaya!
