AOL India launches cricket, news and bollywood related blogs

The recently launched AOL India portal has launched blogs in three niche categories - Cricket, News and Bollywood. No, its not a blogging platform. Instead, the blogging initiative comprises of posts submitted by a select group of authors. It isnt clear if AOL is paying the bloggers for the content generation. If you are interested, you can send in your post to blogseditor@aol.com (Not aol.in, mind you).

The site does a poor job in terms of usability and content is at best okay. For instance, why do they have a Brazilian blogger submitting news content related to Brazil on the News blog ? This is supposed to be an Indian portal, isnt it ?
