One reason why Sulekha sucks sometimes...

I do use sulekha.com occasionally to sell my old items. Now a days, Sulekha.com has transformed into a aggressive Business directory along with a Classifieds section.

One reason I find that Sulekha.com sucks is because there is no clear welcome page for a visitor. There are 3 possible visitors for sulekha.com

1. One who comes looking for Online Classifieds
2. One who comes looking for Business Directory
3. One who comes from some other linking site knowingly or unknowingly.

The home page or landing page is a clear mess of everything. By throwing all the links in the home page, they have created a tough navigation for a classified seeker and Business seeker. You cannot predict which link will lead to what section!

Had there been a clear classification of services or atleast a search that has options to choose my search between Classifieds or Yellow Pages or Both, life would be much more easier in the home page. Right now, I have to click on the BUY/SELL tab or link in order to access classifieds. Oh, I just found now. There is a link on top,just below the Sulekha.com name. Nice, but not enough.

Long way to go.

Like a typical map application (Google Maps) this app has the ability to zoom-in, zoom-out, drag-across-navigation. By default the user must Sign-in, to access the app. The sign-in is a security measure, to show only the user's friends' locations and time-line history. The Screens (The background pencil sketch art court...

The new Orkut User Interface Refreshing! breathes a lot fresh and looks damn cool. Orkut's new user interface is way better than the previous one. I like the slick spacing and rounded-shadowed boxes. A good job from Google stable! Finally Orkut is catching up with the competition with some eye-candy interface! :-) - Rajesh Sundaram
