Never open www.timesofindia.com.

How many times were you tempted to read news on www.timesofindia.com? How many times have you opened it and closed it sooner than later? I guess the answer would be many times. The site including www.indiatimes.com are more annoying than linked p*** sites. Without fail, they'll either try to install some windows program on your machine or open smashhits.com on the background without you knowing, beating the guards of your Norton internet security pop-up blocker or your google pop-up blocker. Even the reading experience is horrible since these two problems will repeat on every page that loads from these two domains. For news on India, I suggest in.rediff.com or www.expressindia.com. There is another sham site called www.thenewindiapress.com which is not the same as indianexpress.com. So you can't say whether they putting their own name to shame or trying to pull indianexpress down .. hahahaha..

saw a news link site varthe. not bad but too many unknown newssites with some odd news or bizzare if u wud call it. now these days even u can't trust blogs as they get into meaningless propoganda of sorts.. for catching eye balls.. now, blogs got very popular to me after the Dec 25 2004 Tsunami which hit indonesia and thailand and india badly.. there was news videos and what not to help people on tsunami.. now just one and a half years down, they loosing their truth-touch i wud say.. well.. here are some of my favourite news sites..
