Fixes to registration page and minor tweaks getting rolled out now.

Just noticed the regular registration page looks ugly - and probably does not even work.

Fixed that.

Also, now registration means logging in via your other accounts which is actually very secure. So, please note that.

Have you noticed our new features?

Over the past week, we have silently updated the site with one of the most requested features so far. Basically, if you login, we are now keeping track of articles you have read and showing you only fresh articles. When we first rolled out this update, it did not work that well, but over a period of time, culminating a few days ago, we finally fixed all remaining issues and ensured that it works consistently in a stable manner.

While we were implementing this, we realized that lots of users may not want to login and just want it to just work. For such users, we now keep track of articles in a temporary manner. I.e., when you visit our site, as long as you are on it continuously, we keep track of read articles. If you are away for more than 2 hours, then the information is lost, but effectively, we will "remember" your read articles for atleast 2 hours since the time you stopped browsing on our site.

Further updates will be rolling in real-time because we are constantly testing the site and fixing any issues and improving features which we find lacking.

Hope you have a good weekend folks!

Another great feature rolling out soon.

Sometime after today midnight, once you login, you will only see unread articles on every page of our site. Even though we are not going to show a functional "Mark Read" button on every page yet, we are still going to implement a feature wherein every page will show unread articles only.

This should make it great for all users who come to our site and want to read fresh news on all pages - not just the one personal page we create for you.

[Update] Took some time, and additional complications but it works great now! - once you login, go to any page, read any article by clicking on it, refresh the page and you will not see it again.

[Update] By today midnight, you will be able to mark articles are read on the trending and realtime pages and only see fresh articles ever again. This will work very nicely!

Site Upgrade Completed

The site upgrade has been completed as of now. Most of the issues have been resolved, and any minor remaining issues will be fixed as and when we notice them.

Thanks. The site should run much faster now - and with much better resilience even during other upgrades.

Major site upgrade underway

In an effort to make the site as fast as Yahoo or Google, a major under the scenes upgrade is rolling out today and for the next few days. Expect service outages and some slowness. Rest assured, once done things will work much more faster and reliable than before.
