nice. How long did that take you?

About 30 min. This is just the start of it.

Its News.com in Hindi afterall. Can't have it sitting doing nothing.

If you know of any Hindi newspapers that provide RSS, or have your own RSS feed, let me know.

Right now its slow because it grabs headlines in real time, but I'm going to make it cache the content first and maybe even generate static html for page 1, to speed things up.

No.

Probably too much to hope for at this stage, but it will come!

Yes, that is the one I have (only got the dot net!). However, literal translations are not always the most telling. It is all down to what people will actually choose to type in. Until the traffic materialises, or doesn't it is going to be hard to say in many cases which are the most solid investments.

I'll let the Hindi grammarians argue about it. This is the 'News' MSN uses.

खबरें the english version kabar has 800 overtures

समाचार the english version samachar has 14000 overtures


समाचार is the most common usage of news but खबरें is like in Tv channels people keep saying we have just got kabar that there was a bomb blast in delhi

Both are good terms and good luck with it !!

Khabar/khabren has urdu origin and is very commonly used, bbc radio uses it like many others. Samachar is also used frequently. Actually, both are popular synonyms.

Its a case something like, newspaper which can be pronounced as,

Akhbaar (अखबार) - originating from khabar, and
SamacharPatra (समाचारपत्र) - originating from samachar.

Dan, good work!

Very nice stats, too bad समाचार has been held since 2001 and has no content at all. :)

Overture for samachar may be highly skewed perhaps because samachar.com is an extremely popular website. Check the overture for samachar.com .. :)

Dan, good work!

Thank you Dr.

I also have अख़बार.com but this form seems to be very rarely used.

Well, this is subtle. Do you notice the absence of a dot in my version of अखबार. The dot represents the speech sound which is normally rarely used in written form. Cheers!

Its like, phone can be written as फोन and फ़ोन in hindi. Though, फ़ोन is the correct grammatical word, फोन is used more often.

Even in the current case, the correct grammatical form is ख़बरें, however खबरें (one with Dan) is the one that is used most often.
