Celebrating 60 years of independence, Indiatimes.com is launching a service which it says will give each individual the freeedom to personalize the World Wide Web.
'My.indiatimes.com' will empower users with a single window for all their content to reside within.
The service promises to deliver on the larger Internet promise of super customization by letting users select from any site that provides RSS feeds, and customize so as to get featured on their page.
The page is changeable -- users can drag and drop boxes, delete content at will, and add whatever they prefer from anywhere around the Web.
All users need do is sign-in with their Indiatimes id, add content, and save their page. As such, they can access the page from anywhere simply by logging-in. And they can change preferences as often as they wish.
Elaborating on the service, Dinesh Wadhawan, managing director and chief executive officer of Times Internet, said, "the consumption of Internet is a very individual process; merely providing one kind of content for all does not work. Here every individual is a niche; his needs have to be met. 'My.indiatimes.com' is our attempt to do just that."
No clue why would indiatimes would want to do this.. Mere showing up their tech team AJAX adaptiveness .. Nothing new ..Guys Jokes section is in hindi.. better make indiatimes in hindi version
Indiatimes always love to bang their own drums - as it is the site looks horribly cluttered with no clear focus or direction. And cloning google cannot be claimed as something unique.
Great idea & strategy, but make sure to handle this idea properly to make it long lasting plan to bring indiatimes name among top few. All the best & keep it up, as IndiaTimes.com has improved a lot since it started few years ago.
I wish the experience is better than the sites already providing this service. Kudos to the team...better late than never!!! indiatimes coping or copying?? only time will tell....cheers!
They advertise for unlimited Inbox but inside you get only 6MB for mail and 20 MB for briefcase? Why they fool customers? This shows that they do not have capacity to serve as Google?
Indiatimes seems to be hell bend on copying Yahoo and google ideas and sites as it is
with very little effort to put in their own creativity.Be it the style of my.indiatimes or the yahoo images used on their main site they just blindly pickup stuff.
