    Hello all OurSurat.com users and well wishers!

    I am creating this blog post, so everyone can give us feedback about OurSurat.com and its features. What we can do to make it better? If I want to say that in simple words, What is Public Demand?

    Please continue sending us suggestions as comments to this post.

      I think we should have Interface for sending invitation to our contacts in gmail yahoo etc. as soon as possible.

      We should also have some new feature like OurSms to invite peoples to oursurat.

    2. Hussain Cutpiecewala

      Here with one more suggestion.
      We should have feature for mailing list.
      Lets say In advertisement I am subscribed to some category then I should receive email when some new advertisement is posted in that category.

      We should have one more tab in advertisement for “My Favorites” that shows up filtered advertisement of my choice. :-)

    3. Hussain Cutpiecewala

      Again back with one more :-)

      We should also have interface to import facebook friends and from this imported list user should be able to send invitations to join OurSurat.com

    4. Hussain,

      Adding all of your suggested features :) Infact, inviting other users will be there on OurSurat.com really soon. Thanks for all your suggested features. Be ready for OurSurat.com surprises!

    5. Hussain,

      This is also a good feature for subscribing to certain categories. It won’t be there soon but it will be there later for sure.

    6. આપણુ સુરત ઘણુ સુન્દર છે. સુરત અન્ગે ઘણુ બધુ જાણવા મળે છે. ગુજરાતીમા લખવા માટે સાથે ટાઈપ પેડ હોય તો સગવડ મળૅ. આ માટે કાઈક કરશો. હણા તો કોપી પેસ્ત કરીને ગાડી ગબડાવવી પદેછે તેમાથી બચી જવાય.

    7. We should have feature for more pic ok

    8. Jashumati,

      You are right. Once we will have some basic features there, we will have gujarati version of whole site and of course with typing tools too :) Thank your for the feature request.

    9. Sure, We are working on it but it is not in priority. I will notify you once its there in place.

    10. આપણુ સુરત ચાલુ થયુ એટલે આનંદ્ની વાત છે. ખાસ કરીને ગુજરાત્ની વાતો આવતી હોવાથી ગુજરાતીમાં લખ્વાનૂ આવશ્યક છે તે માટે ગુજરાતીમાં લખ્વાની સગવડ થવી જરુરી છે. મારી સલાહ છે કે એક ગુજરાતી ટાઈપપેડ્ની જોગવાઈ કરવી જોઈએ.
      વેબ સાઈટ્મા મનોરંજન માટે યુટ્યુબ જેવી સાઈટ સાથે એટેચ્મેન્ટ કરવાથી આ કામ થઈ શકે તેમ છે.આમ કરવાથી વેબ પેજ સુન્દર લાગશે અને યુઝરને આનંદ આવશે.
      બીજુ બધુ ઘણુ કરવાનુ બાકી લાગે છે.શરુઆત છે એટલે ધ્યાન્મા લેવા માટે હમણા તો આટલા સુચન કરુ છુ. પરંતુ આયોજકોએ સારી મહેનત કરી છે માટે ધન્યવાદનએ યોગ્ય છે.

    11. અરવિન્દભાઈ,

      અમારા પ્રયાસને હિંમત અાપવા ધન્યવાદ. અમે ગુજરાતી વિભાગ પર ઘણું કામ કરવાના છીએ, પણ થોડો સમય લાગશે. યુ-ટયુબ પણ અાવશે :)

      સુચનો કરતાં રહેજો.

    12. Dear Ashvin Savani,

      Congratulations on starting a new website.

      Please add details which a layman needs, and I am sure many people would love to visit your website.

      Please give your details on the website.

      Best wishes,
      Dharmendra.

    13. Dear Dharmendrabhai,

      Thank you, for your time to give us feedback on this new website. Can you tell me what exact information you are looking for “as a layman”, and we will surely add them.

      Also, about my details – You mean my bio etc.,? or something else?

      Thank you once again,

      Ashvin

      Mr Ashvin Savani,

      Hope you are doing great today.
      This is Nik (Pako hurti)(Software Engineer From USA.)
      I really appreciate your effort for making this oursurat.com , I really enjoyed your (our) website, Keep it up.
      Few things from my side.
      1) Many people ask about Gujarat Language converter, Provide them this link which is a free tool from English to Gujarati converter.
      Redirect the user from our link to following site with copy-paste option for time-being.

      http://www.iit.edu/~laksvij/language/gujarati.html

      2) Depending upon the page hit count there should be few Moderators which can keep track of all the portion for safety and security

      3) Every time link is opening in new tab or page which create more then one instance of the website which can create issues in future for multiple things done together.
      Keep in as single page instance to access.

      4) I have seen one add which gives bad image of one area to the people, (I dont wan’t to explain it now) but better to be checked by moderator.

      5) Add some blog or section for updated photos of Surat.

      6) Keep marketing our web-site for popularity not only local but globally ( I mean to say e-marketing)

      There will be many things comes up later on.

      Thanks & Regards,
      Nik

    15. Hello Mr. Nik,

      Thanks for your valuable suggestions, we have taken note of them and will try to implement as soon as possible.

      We like your idea to market OurSurat.com globally and we are working on that too but we need support from all the Surtis worldwide.

      We will be back soon with Gujarati support at more places.

      Please keep sending us the suggestions to improve OurSurat.com.

      Thanks

      Greetings to you Mr. Ashvin Savani,

      I appreciate your initiative and the magnanimous effort you have placed to put this site in good order. The best part seeking feedback and information from visitors to align their requirements that they look for in this website.

      The generation next who would be the professionals of tomorrow might need to know about “the confidence builders” in their professional and personal pursuits. We offer many such initiatives from under our domain. How would you and your website help to contribute to a good cause? How would we make use of this good website to take the educational movement to benefit our locals.

      Best wishes,

      Mustafa Lokhandwala

    17. Mustafa,

      Thanks for all your good wishes for us and OurSurat.com. I would love to know more about your academy and we can surely do something which will help all Surat people to make better society.

      Greetings and thank you Ashvinbhai for your reply.

      I would be happy to meet you in person. I attempted to find your contact details on the website, perhaps I missed to have an eye for detail. Rightly suggested by Dr. Dharmendraji, the website visitors would like to know about yourself – may be a short synopsis.

      Let me know your best convenient day and time when I can see you in person. Please let me have your personal / official e-Mail id, if that is fine with you.

      Wishing you a great day ahead.

      Mustafa Lokhandwala

    19. Dear Mustafabhai,

      I am glad that you want to meet me in person. I just sent you my contact details to your email. See you soon!
