Desicritics is finally launched. Modeled on the more famous Blogcritics, Aaman Lamba has spearheaded the effort to round up ‘eminent’ bloggers from all over South Asia. We hopes that Desicritics will showcase the best of South Asian writing on a blog. DesiPundit will join hands in bringing the best of the posts from Desicritics periodically.
Full Disclosure: I am honored to be part of this eclectic and esteemed group of bloggers.

MadMan, I agree! Since I am in the ‘recommendation’ mood, may I recommend that someone start a filtered, bestof DesiPundit? I just unsubscribed from DP

Srijith,
May I ask why? Was it information overload? or you don’t agree with our selections?

Madman, I agree with you.
However, the design is by no means final – We are working on it, actually – and a newer design should be put in place very shortly.

Patrix, I used to follow almost every or every other link posted on DP. Now that has dropped to every one in 20 or 30 links and is just not good enough to stay in my pruned subscription list.
If by ’selection’ you mean the quality of the posts that gets linked from DP, yes that is it. Do you guys actually have any kind of filter, other than the obvious ones that filter one line posts and such?
It is not information overload, I can and do deal with it pretty well. I do not mind 20 links to *nice posts* in a hour’s timeframe but when I end up not following any of those 20 links, that is a problem.

Srijith,
Maybe the need to follow almost every other link posted on DP is misplaced. The Indian blogosphere is growing every day and as more bloggers opine, there is bound to be wide spectrum of posts. DesiPundit reflects that expansive growth, I believe.
Number of posts that DP links to has definitely gone up in the past few months and it would be presumptous to expect to like every post we link to. As I said earlier, blog posts are subjective and we don’t expect everyone to like every post.

Patrix,
Sure, I cannot disagree there. But I’ll rather have a clean trimmed feed list than have a dozen more hoping that something interesting will come by once a month.I guess I will let other bloggers filter your posts for me
