Bloggers Gathering turns out to be the exclusive demonstration of Telenor weblounge. Miscommunication or misunderstanding whatever it was, it provided me the opportunity to meet some of my old friends.

The presentation was about to end when I entered in the meeting room, and it was about Telenor new feature Weblounge[Surprise for me]. As far as I understood Weblounge is a web interface for customers to manage their data. User does not have to go to Telenor customer service centers anymore, almost everything can be done via Internet.  The gentleman on the presentation also demonstrated how users can control their data via web. According to him it was realtime system but it looked more like an online system to me.

So whats new in weblounge?

Right now in Pakistan no telecom company is providing the web interface so that their customer can fully control their data. Telenor Weblounge will provide customers to control their data.

Weblounge is for both postpaid and prepaid customers.

You can purchase a number of your choice from the web and SIM will be delivered within 48 hours.

You can shift from any other network to Telenor, make payments online or subscribe for exciting add-ons, special offers and value added services and many more by using this feature.

Telenor does not stop here, as told by the presenter It is phase one… there are also phase two and three.

Weblounge is definitely a smart move by Telenor. It will not only save the time of their customers but also they would require less people in their customer service centers, managing data would be more easy. My only concern is security, if their servers are compromised than this would be a catastrophe for Telenor.

I am excited and waiting for more details, as soon as I get them I will definitely share.

One of my friend, new to blog world pushed me to write this post. We were having a discussion on mobile phones and she asked few questions about my cell model and specifications, in reply I showed my love towards LG Shine. After sometime she shared a link… Which lead to her blog, she wrote a post based on my personal opinion and she quoted my chat as well. Oh My … I had mixed type of feeling while reading her post, I was bit angry and was smiling as well. I was angry because she had quoted me without my knowledge and her mobile reviews were based on only my personal opinion, which may lead to false conclusions. I was laughing because it seems very funny to quot a chat. It seems she was reviewing my chat more than a LG shine mobile. I am bit lazy type of person who always try to use less words and avoid long and endless conversation, thats why I shared the links to LG mobile specification. If she had told me before that she wanted to write a mobile review on LG shine I would have given a better help in this regard.

I like her style but I wanted to ask every couple of questions

If some one out of no where ask you something and write a blog on that.

How will you feel?

How will you react?

Is it ethical to write a blog on some ones chat without permission of that person?

Will you do anything like this in future?
