Hey sorry friends for delaying so much to come out with my second review. Actually my exams were going on. But I could not keep away from mouthshut and was regular and reading and rating the reviews.
Today I am writing about the site which keeps me updated about the latest happenings in the world. It’s none other than NDTV.com.
Ndtv.com is the best news site I have ever come across. It is very well organized site which makes browsing through the news easier. Unlike there is no hoch posh on the front page and you can easily locate what you are looking for.
First one and the fasted to get Updated.
Well I have tested many times that it’s the first site to get updated about any latest news. To quote few news:-
1) CAT Exam 2004 question paper leaked. It was the first one to tell the world.
2) CBSE pre-medical question paper leaked. It was the first one to report the news.
These were the two news which I tested myself comparing it with other news sites.
Extensive coverage of Exclusive events
Well those who cannot sit in front of the television to get the news ndtv.com does the best and extensive coverage of events. They are not only very well covered but also Dramatised to arouse the curiosity among the reader. Some recent examples are :-
1) The extensive reporting ball by ball of the INDIA vs PAKISTAN match. With reviews from the cricketers.The chat feature used on the scoring page during the India-pak was a very new concept. It let the readers send thier best wishes instantly on net to the team.
2) The superb coverage of ELECTIONs-2004 held recently.
Technology used is the best.
Being myself in the software development field I can very well analyse that the technology used by them is the best. The pages get refreshed dynamically. The site is very fast and you don’t have to sit for minutes for the page to open.
Look and feel of the site.
The look and feel of the site is soothning to the eye. You enjoy reading news on the pages. The colour combinations used are good.
Polls conducted for having the opinion of the reader on daily basis.
