Every morning we come to office and first what we do check mails, and if there are no fire fighting emails, next thing what we do is read news from many of these news portals which provide daily scoops and updates all around the country. As internet speed has increased a lot in India, we generally tend to open 2 or more news portals…. Even I do so, which is the best in India, let me put my views on these….
IBNLive.com - * * * *
What I like about this site is the clean UI and excellent categorization of the news, also I read the blogs written by their news editors which are fun to read and they constantly update the blogs. You can spend at-least 10 to 15 minutes in the homepage itself, lots of scoops, around the world happenings. There is also this shopping which I haven’t ventured as yet…. Even if you go to inside pages, you won’t be lost, there are enough reasons to navigate within the pages very easily. Must say a clean, to the point and yet very much attractive news portal, very much like their news channel, IBN
Rediff.com - * * *
Hmmm… Ok sort of portal, thing is that rediff has been there for long long time and to be in dot com for these many years is commendable. Not much has changed for rediff, good thing about the site is their editorials are excellent and they constantly change every minute, which makes you glued to this site…. Apart from this their shopping site is also great. Very few people know that REDIFF also gives Railway schedules and that too a quick glance, Flight Schedules and Image search.
HindustanTimes.com - * * *
Don’t expect something great from this portal, but here again if you are an avid news and article reader, you will like this site. Homepage might look a bit crowded but ample of things very well structured. It seems this portal is been directly lifted from NewYorkTimes website, nevertheless worth a read…. J They give good coverage of cricket matches.
Mid-Day - *
Last year this was my favorite site, not only because it gave excellent scoops, but also through this site I was able to get updates of Mumbai and happenings in the city, but sorry to say the new version sucks big time. In the name of Web 2.0, they have forgotten the basic need of users, who come to the site to read and not watch the website, the new version is like very much disturbing and you won’t feel like reading…. BAD EXPERIENCE, check out Khalid Ansari column which is the only saving grace for Mid-Day.
Indiatimes.com, TimesofIndia.com - * *
Nothing much to say about these sites, not so great but not that bad either… surf it if you have ample of time in office
IndianExpress.com - * *
Again not that good experience in terms of UI but Indian Express editorials are regarded as A1 and SUPER… check out the Walk the Talk with Shekar Gupta http://www.indianexpress.com/fullcoverage/30.html
