Injoos has come a long way

Hey guys..i know its a long time since i posted something..the development i am seeing on the web products today has drawn me to write this post amidst my busy schedule..

Over the past few months i saw so many websites get a makeover from facebook feeds page to rediff site to ndtv.com to orkut changing the positioning of ads to subtle changes to linkedin..Any reasoning behind this?? not sure..but when the web keeps changing it helps people like me who stay on the web most of the day to feel fresh about the changes..

Top on the web wars has been google search vs bing..Lets wait and watch if microsoft can topple google here..


The sites i mentioned above has seen small changes over the past few months but on top on my list of upcoming web products is Injoos and man i have seen significant change in the product..
I didn't log onto the site for a couple of months and when i wanted to check the site it was flying..literally..the developers have done a great improvement in terms of optimizing the scripts and css i think..and the site looks bright and clean and has a corporatish look to it..but i would like more information in some pages..

Now logging in..i don't see much change to my landing page..its still the same 4 boxes but i see some utilitarian features on the right like quick links to various sections and if you are a moderator there are quick links to take you to the place of action..i think this feature is pretty neat because it has 2 features in it..one it shows if there is any action required and second acts as a quick link..The second tab now called the 'Library' has had a huge makeover and i see a lot of features which makes resource management pretty easy with the flexibilty the features provide but not so intuitive mainly because of the unpolished user interface..needs a bit of finishing to call itself a web 2.0 solution for resource management or to become an immediate competition to box.net...

But overall the product looks good to use...

Some features i would love to see are :
change of landing page when i log in..looks very bland as of now..the landing page should actually trigger action from the user..

I would like the action area to be scaled down a bit may be standard 1024 * 768..now the site looks pretty stretched..

Colourful icons..this adds up to the beauty of the site and adds a coolness factor which is average as of now...

Hope to see sparkling Injoos next time i write a post and also would want a new player to give a hit to both Microsoft and Google..
