"iShare" - An Orkut alternative from Rediff

Inspired by success of the roaring Orkut, Rediff India has launched a social networking and content sharing site named iShare. It will enable users to share photos, videos, content, blogposts and music. A simple utility tool has to be downloaded and installed in the computer to enable active sharing and this will help users to upload videos and music from mobiles and mp3 players easily. The website supports several formats including mpeg, wmv and avi. Rediff India claims that iShare will be the first exclusive social networking site for Indians, both within the country and abroad. The company has also tied up with Zee Televsion to enable singers aspiring to take part in the popular ‘Saregama' show to upload their audio files on iShare.
