I use the 'What's new' sections on 123india and Yahoo's India directory to discover the latest Indian websites. These curated lists are effective tools for keeping track of new additions to the regional web.
I curated a list of localized Indian websites featuring regional versions of FortuneCity, Britannica, and The Weather Channel. These portals reflect the growth of country-specific web services and information resources targeting Indian users in the early 2000s.
I highlight the emergence of localized Indian portals like Yahoo! India, CNet, and ZDNet. These sites, featuring dedicated sections for finance and news, represent a significant milestone for India’s growing presence on the global internet.
I updated my essential software list for a new laptop, moving toward browser-based tools, Cygwin, and Portable Apps. I’ve replaced heavy IDEs with Sublime Text 2 and added power utilities like AutoHotKey, ClipX, and R.
I compiled a round-up of early Indian blogging communities, highlighting resources like Anita's comprehensive list and ring, Eatonweb, and Kamat's moderated directory to help navigate the emerging Indian blogosphere in 2002.
I examined the new ICANN applications for top-level domains like .museum, .biz, and .xxx. It is interesting to see the diverse range of bidders competing to control these new additions to the global domain name system.
