I think you must change this to IPad News

thanks gvk..article is moved to IPad News

Humsurfer gets more traffic than Indianpad but the content on their homepage is nowhere as good as Indianpad

Humsurfer gets more traffic than Indianpad

www.rambhai.com also seems to be quite popular…wat say guyz?

I checked humsurfer. It has annoying popup ads….how come it has more traffic than IndianPad? I think it’s because of their Search Engine friendly URLs. What do you guys say?

spencer_911 & goutami,
I agree with you. IndianPad is the best

@ravinder81,
Thanks ravinder. Now the list of known bookmarking sites in India are 3. Lets wait and see if anyone else has more sites to add to this list.

I think there is Humsurfer, BestofIndya, Rambhai, bookmarks.oneindia.in and NewsCola of which I have heard. Yup and rightly said 1/10 of Indianpad.

@indianboy,
Thank you very much.

@gopi, you are right about that friendly URL thing. amiable_indian suggested indianpad to do similar thing long time back http://www.indianpad.com/tips/12170

not bad..i guessed it right ..hope soon IndianPad is upgraded with search engine friendly URLs(VISION 2020!!!).

Here is another one
http://www.dubbagol.com/

to add one more – www.bharatboom.com

www.IndiaSphere.net

http://www.indianbytes.com/

Can’t call humsurfer as social bookmarking site, cause none of the votes there are genuine.

That site even used rss reader to get stories from Indianpad.

I think IP is the only site with genuine users and votes (well there is cross voting, but still people vote).

Rest of the sites are clones made of pligg i think.

propeller theinsider mixx are more…

I know 2 more india book marking sites – xoomly and gyanin . bollymms is right. all of them look the same to me. Indianpad rcoks in terms of quality.

indiasphere.net is also quite popular. ..

people consider humsurfer more then IndianPad because its much faster submission and its leaders don’t harass newcomers.

And Gopi there are many Indian social bookmarking sites that have at least 1/10 of I-Pad popularity. My love, and my favorite indian site is rambhai, only if the admin puts some work into it that site will be much better. but the good thing is that site has as many loyal users as i-Pad.
The only thing is many spammers come to that site. Pligg needs to come up with something to block the spam.

Look if you want a great news discussion, switch to propeller or NewsVine, and IndianPad and every other Pligg owner needs to look up to Mixx.com.

@ RC by popularity Gopi meant tht there are more and more people out there to help you to make your story look good

They are not here to harass you but only help you

As about rambhai plz check the spam tht infests tht place Agreed it has a good user base but it is still ages away from IPAD the amount of exposure Ipad gives to your site is immense as compared to RB

As for other i believe there are more indians on digg than all of social bookmarking sites in India put together its just tht its same for all other countries as well.

Plus there is no culture for voting for stories in any of Social Bookmarking sites

The reason tht digg is so popular tht it has a voting culture

Study digg for a day or two and you will analyze why it is far superior

Even Matt Cutts in his side said it is more interesting than google search engine(something like tht)

I m a big digg fan so plz mind

Also if you want great timeless stories use stumbleupon and you will never have same approach towards bookmarking like before.

As for humsurfer it does not have any community watsoever it just has spammers, only due its google power it is highly ranked otherwise it does not stand a chance.

@remixconcepts,

leaders don’t harass newcomers

Do you mean IndianPad leaders harass new comers? If you find any case, let put it forward and make this community more enjoyable to everyone.

Whether its a newcomer or a veteran, I believe IndianPad respects them as long as they are contributing to the site. An year ago i was a new comer here…no one harassed me

It also depends on what you term as harassment.

For example, some people get into the habit of posting specific things from the same site in a repetitive manner and when rebuked, they would probably term that as harassment. Others indulge in cross voting and when that is pointed out, they term it to be harassment.

To be successful (again, that’s relative), according to me, a site must have a sufficiently large user base, negligible spam, good discussion threads and dedication from Admins/Mods. IP needs improvement on the latter two.

Guys how to save/bookmark my favorite indianpad pages in my profile ? or Do I need to use del.icio.us for this ?

click on the little heart to save your favourite pages

:D yep got it,

amazing, http://www.bestofindya.com/news/register.php don’t work,

Some of you have mentioned friendly urls in the comments above

amiable_indian mentioned this some time ago but we were hesitant to implement it as our users have the ability to modify the story titles after they are submitted. This means that the url may differ from the story title.

However, this is a good reminder and we will look into this again to see if we can implement this without breaking any existing links…

thanks guys

I would say I Pad is the best, Just because Rambhai has been started by a bunch of fresher trainees from IIM that gives it no meri to be it amongst the top 10. Ipad started much before many global (any language except meneame.net) bookmarking sites. Rambhai has a long way to go. I think there is no room for any more boomarking sites, the fly by night operators will die soon or will be eaten by the bigger players. I sounds much like the dotcom day when every one with 2 cents starts a dot come company and we all witnessed the downfall.

Sorry no windfall gains for anyon else. Ipad will stay on top, except the , msaleems, makimakis, baby man, jaybol and qgyh2 of IndianPad have to take responibilty and start sending in quality content besides promoting their own blogs.

Show me where on Digg do you say baby man’s blog or maki maki’s blog(Dosh Dosh) or for a matter of fact even on Reddit qgyh2 hardly maintains a blog. All these power users send atleast 100 stories a day and our power users …......

sorry wrote it real fast so there are a few typos in my earlier comment

@ Gopinath a few days ago I was a newcomer, thought that I-Pad would be only a clone to Humsurfer, used some assets which will make me a leader here at I-Pad, but guess what leaders/users of I-Pad started harassing me, which I disliked before but now I appreciate and wish other sites harrass its newcomers as well.

And don’t take the word Harrass as a negative. Kids in schools are harrassed for their betterment, and right here I think we need to harrass the newcomers and inform them of what is ahead of them here on I-Pad so they can improve and so they can really blend into IndianPad site the way we want to with no or limited mistakes and share great content.

IndiaSphere is pretty good

I came up with a list of Almost every Indian Social Bookmarking Website ever – Check it out at http://www.indianpad.com/story/337830
