The Hindu has covered Zook across multiple editions today.
While unintended, this may have the side-effect of getting Z-o-o-k pronounced similar to hook - which may not be a bad thing - it might associate the search engine with speed 
(Zuk - like something moving fast?)
Ajay just got us all ice cream - butterscotch and chocolate. An interesting discussion ensued about whether Amul was better than Kwality, and if only Indian brands were allowed to deal in dairy based products.
Answer to that question about dairy products ? I dunno, ask Zook.
Bangalore’s experiencing great weather. The traffic’s on the upswing. On the site, not on the roads.And there’s a nice long weekend coming up. Happy Ugadi all (grab Ugadi stuff for your mobile!)
[ Who's buying ice-cream next week? ]
A little snooping around all the content we’ve been adding recently got some interesting stuff (and converted even me, who’s never downloaded a ringtone in my life, to do that!).
If you’re so inclined, there’s Mantras you can use, or various sirens if thats your thing. There’s various other ways of getting you to pick up the phone, some very amusing Rock, F1, bells, funny ones, there’s all kinds of stuff you can download for nothing at all. Go ahead and find it - its fun and its free.
There’s also tons of pictures you could use, and mobile games and applications - all through one search box.
We continue to work to bring more and more interesting, useful stuff for you. Keep zook.in!
P.S. Reminder : you can also download and use the Zook client for S60 3rd Ed. phones - check out if there’s one for yours….
The Zook S60 Client on the Mobisy Platform was the featured App on Nokia
You can download it by pointing your phone here.
This is early days for the client - and we’d like your feedback on the same. What else would you like to see ? Whats good ? Whats bad ? What else ?
We can sense that a lot many more people are beginning to discover, and find Zook useful when they’re “out there”.
Here’s one : http://techmeon.wordpress.com/2008/12/04/zook-the-new-mobile-q-a-platform/

There’s now a Zook Facebook Group.

Good bisibele in Bangalore ? Distance to Goa ? How does one get to Chikmaglur ? When’s the next exam for this board or that ? Whats CERN ? How many moons does Jupiter have ? Meanings of words ?

Its a bad economy - the dazzling new model will probably need to wait - get a bargain instead.
We’ve also added a bunch of jobs, real estate listings, services, even matrimonials.
One more reason to use Zook. And please keep watching this space for alerts on these soon.
