my.indiatimes.com - whats the point?
Why on earth would anyone use my.indiatimes.com when there are countless other better personalized homepages out there with global rss feeds and better features. I still dont get what the strategists behind ideas at IndiaTimes online initiative are up to. They seem to wake up late, just like a lot of other dot com Indian companies. If they were serious about this, they should’ve done it over24 months ago when the first wave of RSS customized pages hit the net liek wild fire. In the Web1 world - Yahoo! and the likes did have my.yahoo.com but with very limited features. On the advent of RSS, a lot of companies and portals jumped on the bandwagon of customizable and personalizable start pages - like igoogle, netvibes, yahoo, MSN, amongst others.

I was also flummoxed as to how silly indiatimes can get.
I tried using NetVibes many a times but dither to use my personal email account user id and password on such sites to embed my email on Netvibes. I would instead use iGoogle because atleast I know the google guys would have good security on their servers.
