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..
