New Website For Hindustan Times

March 14th, 2007 Posted in India

Big Change + Zilch Information = WTF

One of the news websites I frequent regularly is that of Hindustan Times. They had the best domain name they could have asked for: hindustantimes.com. Today I noticed that they have switched to hindustantimes.in. All their links point to the new website address. If you type hindustantimes.com their servers will re-direct you to the new name. Alexa traffic graph confirms this:

HT

Apparently everything is working fine but I don’t understand the reasons behind this change. Why fix it if it ain’t broke?

Update: Apparently they are testing a beta version of their new website here.

    Apparently they forgot to change the Title bar: it still reads “HindustanTimes.com ……….”

    Yup. But at least they have a banner linking to their beta site now.
