Going by Technorati

Last night I was watching Rajkumar Gupta's Amir in Zee Cinema. Didn't know I shall also be following a master this way. No, no, not for any devastation. Its an attempt to claim this blog in http://technorati.com.

I too feel Teetli should be claimed thus establishing that I am its owner, and allows me to use Technorati services to increase my blog’s visibility (Modified quote from technorati).

So far I have made some ten futile attempts to claim my blog. But everytime I encountered with an error. Now lets see if at all this claiming happens.

I shall know the next step only when I publish this code. So lets see what happens.

Ah, now claiming will also be episode wise. What an irony!

Doing whatever Technorati says.

PTI revamps its website

If you thought that PTI’s will continue to go on with the old repulsive website, just pay a visit to its revamped website. It looks beautiful and very eye catching now. Not the grand old boring website anymore with a long list of news given along section headlines. 

Design wise: It has a separate enclosure for the big story or the lead story of the day, supported by a photo. This way aesthetically 90 degree catch for the left eye is a good go go. The photo slide show above the Nav Bar is again a beautiful combination to keep eyes 180 degrees occupied and the templates are very well organised. The new website has full utilization of its webpage and has a very good combination of colours. For all section of news starting from National, International, Business and Sports, there is a separate barrack. But what was disappointing was that there is no special segregation for entertainment news as of now. I say “as of now” because, just below the Breaking news section, there is a label for Entertainment, Features, and Bookworm which writes something as “Coming soon”. So here’s hoping that entertainment lovers might soon have that section which now seems in the offing.

Interactive: What is now a novelty out and out is their interactive section. Viewers can now post their comment on PTI news which I think will welcome even more strikes for the news agency. Interestingly I tried to congratulate them for their refurbished website while ironically I ended up commenting on the message below Sarabjit Singh’s death penalty review petition (This happens to be the big story of the day: Pak's SC dismisses Sarabjit's review petition on death sentence). Equally to the trepidation, but could not help because they have no section for congratulatory messages. Atleast for a month they could continue with this section. I am sure there would be many readers eager to congratulate them.

A stitch in time saves nine. My context here is everything needs a transformation by the course of time. The sooner, the better. The otherwise quality news agency website is now a quality look wise too.
