Voting putting
Update: PutVote.com is the link to remember, dear folks.
A long time ago, I mentioned something about ‘the best, the not-so-good and the downright bad of the blogosphere’.
Here it is – India Select - A digg-like community bookmarking thingamjig for the Indian Blogosphere.
Kingsley, who pretty much built this thing from scratch, has more details.
I have been having considerable difficulty keeping up with the Indian blogosphere over the last couple of years. The reason is because, the number of bloggers is booming and there are a lot of great blogs out there. DesiPundit is great, but even a team of editors can only do so much. I and Chandru talked about this and we’ve decided to do something about it. Behold:As the website so clearly explains, “You Putting Vote, Computer Selecting!” or ” In india, select!, you and all of the people putting vote. Then computer send good vote to first page. OK?” I really can’t do any better than that.
Now, it’s just been set up. So expect the two of us to be tweaking it all the time, even ignoring our official work and our social lives. That’s right, that’s how much we both feel about the ‘desi-blogosphere’
Meanwhile, we’ll also be getting a much simple, much more relevant a domain. But till then, bookmark away, and vote.

C,
Good initiative. But you should start serious stuff on the First Day of the Week.
methinks Fridays are good for stuff like humor, The DaveBarryRip-off project, Chicken-run, beer, women, etc. though not necessarily in that order…
cheers
