</div> <p>If you have an interest in South Asia, enjoy writing, and would like greater visibility and reach a global audience, then Desicritics.org may be right for you.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20060615161557/http://www.desicritics.org/">Desicritics.org</a> is part of the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20060615161557/http://www.blogcritics.org/">Blogcritics.org</a> family of sites, which has over 60,000 daily visitors, and 1200+ superior bloggers. </p> <p>We have garnered over 250 writers, 1500+ articles, 100000+ unique visitors and 10000+ comments in our first three months, and we're only getting started. We need you to scale greater heights.</p> <p>Desicritics cover the planet from Carrollton to Calcutta, and points between. You get high quality news, opinions, and reviews across a wide variety of fronts AND you get the funky, eclectic, personality-driven spirit of the blogosphere all in one package. <br/> <div style="float: right; border: thin solid #000000;width=75%; background-color: #dddddd; padding: 3px; margin: 3px;text-align:justify;font-size=12px;">You also get an opportunity to be a part of the very visible South Asian global dynamic. The sub-continent is recognized as a key brick in the global wall, and your contributions will help foster this visibility. </div>We cover media, culture, politics, sports and more with a global South Asian focus. Desicritics will get access to a global audience, as well as an uninhibited platform to opinionate. The Blogcritics community has proven itself over the last 3 years, and I am confident it will translate well to the South Asian context. My association with Blogcritics.org has made me a far better writer, allowed me to read outstanding news, opinion pieces, and reviews every single day, and has provided me with valuable contacts and friends.</p> <p>If you can write lucidly and are opinionated, then you will fit right in with our 'sinister cabal'. We are looking for reviews, news, interviews, commentary and opinion. You can be as eccentric, bizarre, creative, opinionated, specific, or broad-based as you like.</p> <p>Our only requirement is that you have a personal website or blog of your own and give your best effort in your posts.</p> <p>Your posts get a wide audience, with an open comments space that enables reader participation, like few media channels do. They can also be syndicated to Blogcritics.org, giving them even wider reach. Blogcritics.org is an official Google News and My Yahoo! source. We syndicate content to numerous newspapers via the Advance.net family of websites, and are recognized as a leading online source of news and opinion. Besides wide exposure for your writing and ideas, you can also get free review copies of DVDs, CDs, books, movie tickets, and more.</p> <p>You also get an opportunity to be a part of the very visible South Asian global dynamic. The sub-continent is recognized as a key brick in the global wall, and your contributions will help foster this visibility. </p> <p>If this community sounds interesting to you, <b><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20060615161557/mailto:desicritics@gmail.com">send Desicritics an email</a></b>.
