PS: Amidst all the downturn in the US economy, you may want to visit our friend Krupesh’s home warranty website for tips on which home warranty policy to buy to save a few bucks. He has been constantly updating the website with home warranty content and improving his website admirably for some time now.
Please send us your requests for new features (and also highlight pain points of the existing website) by:
We will attempt to address your requests to the best of our abilities. Let us also know if your favourite news website isn’t listed on Sumanasa.com. If you are satisfied with it as it is, please recommend our website to your friends.
Our news website has a new look and feel, which should be pleasing to new visitors and regular visitors alike.
Also added NDTVKhabar, Pratahkal, Business Standard and Mahanagar times to Hindi news pages. Good to see many big media players adding regional flavor to their news websites.
Also added Top Stories section to India News. The Google news like format enables our visitors to quickly glance at top news stories and go in-depth if its important.
Last week we rolled out a new feature that allows our users to filter news on any page based on the time period (<4 hours, 4-8 hours, 8-12 hours and >=12 hours) it was updated on the news source website. We believe that this feature improves usability of our website to a great extent. Colour-coding allows visitors to easily distinguish old news from the new ones. Frequent visitors can quickly glance through the page and read the most recent news and ignore the rest.
Update: Google had flagged samachar.com as malware site. However, this is not the case anymore.
Goto Google.com. Search for “India News.” Google flags Samachar.com as harmful to your computer.
We have now increased the number of google ads that are being displayed on a page. The ads blend very well with the content and may not annoy the user much.
It may not be a good thing for our users, but we need to increase our revenue as well. This additional money is required to add new features to Sumanasa.com. As always, our aim is to attract more users and retain existing users.
We are very excited about completing the rollout of new design for our website.
Hindi news is now separated into unicode and non-unicode sources. Unicode is displayed in text (legible only on IE at this point in time) whereas non-unicode remain as image rollovers. A couple of bugs still exist and will be fixed as soon as possible.
As always, our effort has been to deliver high quality products and make users’ life easy. We welcome your suggestions and comments.
Added CXOToday.com and Techtree.com to Sci-Tech section.
Added Oneindia and Monsters and Critics headlines to India News. More is better!
Switched to RSS feeds (instead of html pages) as source of news headlines for a few news sources for the first time in the 6-year history of Sumanasa.com. Although RSS feeds are more structured source of news headlines, we still prefer crawling HTML pages for the following reasons:
Holler back if headlines from your favourite website is still not available on Sumanasa.com.
