i like the fact that you should register. everyone seems to enjoy the right to freedom of speech, but not take the effort to register and provide your background info. what you say if connected with your background is a powerful tool to extrapolate what are the masses saying. on this site you can still see the discussion boards and read what others are saying and what their background is. that for me is good enough. if i want to say something there, i will register. i can also see the national pulse without registering. if i feel the urge to voice my opinion, i will register. otherwise this is fine for me.

these people might be the first to provide direct analytics to the political parties and media companies, and that is a strong value proposition.

Good to see e-governance taking up importance again. With the whole Obama victory with the new media given good credits, this certainly is a nice idea.

1. The need to register to post to forums is not necessary in fact. The deal is to get your opinions voiced. With a large number of sites asking for registration, this could be one factor that hinders the number of users who wish to come in.

2. Huge focus on User Generated content. Taking the popular 90+ % of people just like to see whats happening and <10% of people who actually post stuff, this may not really look like an idea that could really scale.

3. suggestion: Have a content team in place – something like http://www.igovernment.in .

This is a very timely initiative. The site has been designed with tier 2 cities in mind. Also like the “Eunuch” element, makes it clear it really does want to cater to everyone. Wonder if they intend to launch in local languages too. That would be a great icing.
