Dear Indian Blogosphere friends, since I was handling my own products most of the time, my learning and observations were limited to the scope of work that I was doing and my deadlines . Would really like to understand from you if you have spotted some wonderful stuff in the Indian Internet Market for the following

1. Web Directory - Something like Dmoz. Nothing comes to my mind when I think of this.
2. Classifieds - Like Craigslist - Thousands and millions of them, but I almost end up calling Just Dial.
3. Search - Already done by Google, Yahoo and MSN. The rest that we have doesn’t give me something special, that I won’t find here. Which one do you use which is uniquely Indian.
4. Social News - Not like social gossip, I mean real news like OhMyNews
5. Tech Community - Millions of developers & IT professionals, what is there home page, where do they interact ? Where do they slashdot
6. Jobs - Naukri you are a rockstar !!!. Actually you, Jobsahead and Monster do such a excellent job that there are no further invention in this space.
7. Social Networks - A real, pure, raw, arrogant, desi twist. Not another mai-bhi orkut and facebook types.
8. Blogs - After changing 3 CMSs and at least 5 domains, finally I have a permanent place to call my home at my own domain now. Just within a month of active blogging, spotted couple of few cool blogs from Gaurav Mishra, Rajesh Lalwani, Rajesh Jain, Atanu Dey, Dina Mehta, Amit Agarwal, Kiruba and many others. Can you please share some few more.
9. Blog aggregator - I have seen many Indian blog aggregators come and go, which is the place where you belong
10. Events - There are so many blogcamps, barcamps and such. Really the cool ones but stupid me, I always end up checking that place few months later. Where do I find these updates, all at one place. Please recommend

Please don’t limit your comments, suggestions and feedback to this. Any insights, observations for Indian Internet would be very helpful to me or the readers. You can post in the comment, write on your blog, buzz me on twitter:@santoshmaharshi or hotmail:santosh_maharshi me.

Thanks in advance
