		<description><![CDATA[Now, why in the world would anyone launch an online Web gaming portal with added photo sharing and videos? Just when I thought we had had enough of these clones&#8230; another one is born.
To top it off - this is probably a knock-off me2 of a $50 arcade script, with an added on video and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are we Indians innovating enough on the Web?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking about this question a lot lately. Something tells me that the answer is NO.
We&#8217;re still mostly stuck in the Web1.0 world and even what were are doing in the Web2.0 space, is just not unique enough - but plain simple rip offs of the &#8220;main&#8221; global models.
I mean - look at the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The ishirdigital.com (BIG) blunder</title>

		<description><![CDATA[The news is in.
I nearly fell off my chair.
Then, I ROFL (rolled-over-the-floor-laughing).
Firstly, a big congratulations to the Pahwa guys for striking this deal.  Secondly, HT - if you want to get into the dot com / online media space - try to be a little more wise.
1. You should never have paid $10 million [...]]]></description>
