Find a mate
WebNet had to launch a separate section for matrimonial, from the current popular portal www.indialink.com, to a site as www.matri.com, to cope with the traffic. The new site has been launched as a global link for Indians seeking alliances. The site plans to incorporate a more powerful search-based programme where users can search by religion, age, height, location etc, thus providing the surfer the benefit of browsing through selected fields, rather than go through the entire listings. Registered users can also leave a description of the specific kind of bridegroom that they are looking for, and would get intimated automatically by e-mail if any new entries posted match their criteria.

It is one of the very few Net ventures that has already turned profitable with huge banner advertising revenues through an exclusive tie up with ValueClick, a Web advertising brokerage and internet's largest results-based advertising network.

Hindi mail
The interesting thing about this Hindi website is that there is no need for fonts installation/download on the user's terminal, which means the user can start work after reaching the website. The idea for Hindi writing on the internet can be adopted for other such scripts in which letters are not written mixing (like the small letters of English).
