Nice review Amit. Kudos to Yahoo team, Sai you have been very receptive and thanks for including the Hindi blog feed aggregator, it’s good that you people recognized the rise of Indian languages on the net.

Hi Guys,

My 2 cents….
I think the UI looks pretty good & professional and is not too cluttered like a lot of sites these days. Also i did not get those annoying pop up ads.

The mash up of user generated content is good although i feel that they can add a pint of city info like maps, yellow pages etc …but i guess that will come

Cheers

I don’t like this ourcity.
It doesn;t give anything meaningful by itself.
I would prefer a city portal that gave city info rather than one that picked up RSS’s and donated info .
Cheers

Hi Amit,

I am from the Our City team and i am eager to know more about your comment “The current design & layout is a distant cry from the slickness one would expect from Yahoo…”

Can you reply to this email id with specific points on design and layout that you did not like. That would be very helpful. Appreciate your comments and your very thoughtful post.

Thanks,
Sai Sreekanth

Dev,

Thanks for pointing out the header changing colour thing. I wasn’t aware of this. It sure sounds very cool.
