Surprising how it made into a blog like GigaOm.

But actually if you go and read about the site and the concept, it is much better and sustaining. The concept is to negotiate discounts from the advertisers such that the surfers can also benefit. So whilst the milliondollarhomepage may have created an internet frenzy but had nothing for the surfers, this site ACTUALLY holds something for the surfers and has repeat value. I think its a brilliant extension to the original site and holds a lot of potential for Indian websites and companies. Well done Sunaina!

The NYT picked up India’s Maoist menace story at least two years after the Asian Age and Indian Express and Hindustan Times, when more than a dozen weekend supplements on the topic had appeared in every one of them. The Washington Post followed suit the next week with a story that followed the NYT article nearly word for word. Does this mean that readers in Washington were twice screwed because they could have gone on the web and read it all in the Indian papers years before?

You guys might, I don’t. If you do read the Indian newspapers, then feel free to not read and to not comment on these posts. I frankly find them very informative. I love the fact that OM has added an India section — it saves me scouring tons of Indian sites.

I hope he also adds a China section. I am sure at that point, there will be tons of posts that have already been mentioned in the China press, but you guys won’t be bitching and moaning since (if) you don’t follow China so closely.

Om — I vote for continued coverage. I am sure a ton of your US (and other non-Indian) readers are interested in hearing more.

Stop talking about them, and no one will buy any ad space.

I am very surprised.

with – as i understand it, and the site managers’ a neighbor, good old fashioned sales technique.

ahh, well :-)

And while there is copying of ideas in India, let me point out that it happens everywhere. Europe had 10 rip-offs of eBay. They copy all the leading internet site. So do South American companies and companies in Asia (India included). I’ve met founders who proudly say “We are the of Europe”. So, please, has nothing to do with Indians – has to do with the eagerness of trying to replicate a model that works (sometimes with little success).

To be clear, Europe does have unique sites that aren’t copies of anything and so does India.
