Right now at this point - I have no (zilch, nada, zero) blogs that have a majority of tech-news posts. I just do not see the point in most of their posts. They seem to be just echoes and very less or no original opinion. I prefer more quality and in depth articles. I do not mind even if they are once a week or something.

If you have the energy to explain new stuff in sci/tech (research etc) go for it. BTW:Are you from Kerala (Am from Kerala :) ) I hate blogs posting about news, especially teh news.

The majority wins, and I shall write less about news. As you rightly said, there are other big blogs to cover news. That was the reason I even wrote this post. Prepare to see some good-looking posts! Fwahahaha :$ And prepare to see posts less often, because hey, it takes more time ;) Tonnet, so its decided! The majority wins, and I shall write less about news.

I am not against news but those things are covered for other blogs. Push hard for unique content! Hey Sumesh, since you love tech and that was you’re very first intention, keep it up.

As for Top Commentator, I changed its options to appear only on main page. I will change the option to make it appear on all pages, if I get sufficient quality comments.

You seem to echo what I have in my mind - too much of news is bad. But I have some worries - you are bloggers, so you will prefer news that help you. On the other hand, there are non-blogging techies. Hm......I guess I will have to balance them out so that both sides are happy ;) I am waiting for more suggestions. Ashwini, Linu, Shankar, thanks for your suggestions.

Unless and until you have breaking tech news, don't put up such things. Everyone reads them in other major blogs. But, news is good once in a while - and that's not an issue. Try to be unique, write differently. I personally prefer stuff on blogging, tips, tricks etc. because there's a large crowd which doesn't know what you know - most of the time. Just my suggestions :) Sumesh, my personal suggestion is this:

Since it is a Tech Blog, you have got 100s of topic to compose a unique Post. But if you focus on a particular topic, writing "unique" content can be a limited action. Google alows you to have a duplicate content upto 30%. So you shouuld not be worrying about blogging about something which many other bloggers also posted. Still, you can have your unique Descriptive Title, your own thoughts on other news. News Section can be a part of your blog! Same time you can focuss on creating more unique content in deffrent tech Topics. If you are planning to use some ads network in future such as Google adsense, minimizing your site content to "Wordpress Blogging/Software" will not help you to generat revenue.
