Stats … Knowing them always helps!

February 8th, 2009

“If you can’t measure, you can’t manage”, say management gurus. While we have been measuring various metrics about India Special, we thought it might be useful to make a few relevant ones visible to the writers.

We have created a page for you to check the following stats. Click here to view them.

  • Posts in Last Month
  • Popular Authors of Month (by post views)
  • Most Popular Posts of Month (by post views)
  • Active Authors of Month (by number of posts)

We have used our content platform’s internal reporting and accuracy is as good as it is provided by the platform. As these metrics are private, this link will not be published on the portal. Please bookmark this link for future use.

Have a look and track your progress, we hope that you will find these useful. As always, please tell us about any ideas you think will improve India Special.

Your thoughts!

February 7th, 2009

We are working on enabling a page, something similar to a Facebook Wall. Where users can express their thoughts share their views. While comments make theseWall specific to the post, this place will be more generic. We are basing this on the Google Friend Connect platform, so the users won’t have to register with us or remember another set of passwords.

We would mostly publish this page on the India Special site by 8th Feb 2009. We want thank one of our reader, Swati K, for suggesting this enhancement.

Keep in touch!

Disqus Is Now Active

February 7th, 2009

We have implemented a new comments system on India Special called Disqus.image

The following are a few features that will enhance user experience on the site:

1) Create comment threads

2) Add Video comments

3) Reply and rate comments posted by other users

4) Auto removal of low ranked posts

5) Integration with Friendfeed and Twitter, which means comments posted are stream to those sites and vice-versa

You can choose to add comments directly or register for a Disqus account for future use.

Also please note that the comments are not moderated, however both users and administrators have authority to remove comments that are irrelevant, obscene or spam.

That’s it for now. We will communicate about more features that are coming up soon.
