Top 5 online Telugu news papers

With the arrival of “Sakshi” newspaper, top Telugu newspapers are once again facing intense competition. Currently, Eenadu and Andhrajyothy are dominating circulation with Vaarttha gradually losing readership. While Eenadu is the number one newspaper in Andhra Pradesh, Andhrajyothy is the fastest growing one. We have to wait for some more time before coming to conclusion on Sakshi. But, this analysis is on top Telugu newspapers on Internet. With rising overseas population, online Telugu newspaper websites are commanding huge readership over internet. But many sites are not properly utilising the real power of internet and its user generated content.

Reader’s experience is still bad with these sites due to popup ads and bad fonts. But Sakshi website design is really wonderful with its uncluttered interface.

Top 5 online Telugu newspaper websites:

1. Eenadu: It is number one Telugu newspaper both online and offline. Like Malayala Manorama, it needs to build english version of website to properly monetise news content.

Current rank: 1,446.

2. Andhrajyothy: My personal favourite Telugu newspaper site on internet.

Current rank: 12,147.

3. Sakshi: It is the fastest rising Telugu website in the last month. Congrats to Sakshi team for its uncluttered interface. It is one of the best designed Telugu website. But some sections are still underdeveloped.

Current rank: 22,953.

4. Vaarttha: It is quickly losing readership both online and offline. Vaarttha was number one Telugu newspaer on internet in 2003-04.

Current rank: 26,070.

5. Andhrabhoomi:

Current rank: 54,430.

But all Telugu newspapers are plagued of lack of user participation and user generated content. Multimedia sections are neither absent nor underdeveloped in most of the sites.

I can’t understand why managements are not showing enough interest over its internet properties. They should learn lessons from foreign media and Malayala Manorama.

Best village website in Andhra Pradesh

Karamcheduvillage.net is arguably the best village site in Andhra Pradesh. Residents of Karamchedu are marching ahead both online and offline. Except that unfortunate incident in 1985, Karamchedu village is a role model for any village in development. National Human resources minister Purandhareswari, Cine produced Ramanaidu and Famous Paediatric surgeon Nayudamma were born in this village.
Highlights of the website:

1. Village history.
2. Photo gallery.
3. Addresses of the villagers who are now living outside the village.
4. Information about famous personalities from the village.
5. Satellite maps from Google earth.

What features are missing?

1. No videos on the cultural programmes and famous visits.
2. No interviews with famous personalities.
3. Less information on the history of Karamchedu.
4. There is so much scope to develop this website.

Every village should have a website of this nature and I hope software techies will develop a cyber home for their villages. If webmasters can able to provide E-commerce facility, illiterate villagers can sell their products online.

TMS torrents again attacked by hackers

TMS Torrents.com was again attacked by unknown hacker. TMS torrents is famous for torrents of telugu movies and bollywood movies. Though not popular like desi torrents, it too has some good downloads.

TMS torrents site is facing severe problems in recent days.

I received an email from webmaster. read it here. See the screenshot of home page.

TMS Torrents had a terrible incident yesterday. One of our vital file in the database was physically deleted by unknown sources (I.T. Security Techs hint a method of sql hacking).

I am still working with several security experts to plug the loophole that allowed someone to corrupt and tamper our forum that we all worked so hard to restore! The culprit will definitely be found and the loophole closed.

I have restored the forum to the earliest backup I could recover (January 3rd, 2007), so all posts, ratios, and torrents made within the last three days must be reposted/regained. We are sorry that many of the good members lost their uploads and some new members probably had to re-register.

Amidst this unfortunate event, I beg everyone to lend us your support and continue doing what you have been doing all this time and help TMSTorrents stand tall among all these ruins.

How an article in Eenadu changes a Website traffic?

Eenadu daily today published an article on Chimatamusic.com . Immediately, its traffic jumped from average 4 million reach to 11 million today (see the graph). That is the power of the media. It also indicating the increase in use of Internet. Today, the site reached 74,000 rank.

Though you have a good site, you need publicity to reach more people. As broadband is spreading in Andhra Pradesh and More NRI's are reading local sites and blogs, it is good time for telugu blogs and sites.

Review - 'Great Andhra' Telugu Gossips site

Great Andhra.com is a complete source for upto date gossips happening in Andhra Pradesh. It updates Telugu gossips regularly mainly about Andhra Politics and Telugu movies and Actresses. It seems to have sources in all political parties, Media cirlces and telugu cine industry. Its inside stories are very authenticated and you can get complete idea on inside Andhra Pradesh.

You can watch Telugu movies or buy audio albums just based on its reviews. It weekly updates top 10 telugu audio songs and top 5 telugu movies.

It seems to be against Telugu Desam and partially supports Congress.

Its movie and audio reviews are authoratative while Polical views are partial. The way it highlighted "Undavalli" is sending wrong signals.
