IndiaNewsBox.com, a news aggregator site launches in beta


The new site IndiaNewsBox.com has been launched in the beta. The site hopes to be a news aggregator with an inimitable proposition of offering the content in a single page, but yet preserving the segregation in news source. For now, they have aggregated the news from 9 news sources but have plans to merge more regional content aggregation service (Kannada and Hindi being offered currently).

Well, the idea is indeed good but they will have to speed up as it merely aggregates news from a couple of sources. If they really wish to roll out something like the MySpace News, they really need to work a lot. I really liked the easy to use interface but they somehow seem to have missed some of the points. When you open the home page, page seems to be blank except the feature tabs. The news from the news sources are cited below and the half of the page seems to be unused.

Well, the site is in beta phase and I came across a few bugs when I went to the Indian Blogs section. They could even put more emphasis on the Indian Blogs section as blogging is catching up at a swift pace in India.
