Art house on the Net
Designed, hosted and managed by Cybernet links, a leading Web designing and e-solutions firm, the-artsource.com is the largest Indian Art House on the Net. The brainchild of three young entrepreneurs, Sonali Engineer, Raju Kane and Menka Shivdasani, it seeks to act as an interactive forum between Indian artists and art lovers, and has been conceived as a virtual art gallery. It seeks to use the vast potential of the Internet to break down barriers of time and space and bring together art lovers, art collectors and artists, both in India and abroad. It also provides a forum for the less privileged anonymous artists like the Warlis and other ethnic groups.

The teen masala
Here is a site that aims to quench the thirst of teens with content that expresses a bit of sweetness and a citric tinge of bitterness. The site is bursting with some great teen content, though it seems to be missing the graphics. Images sometimes tell a story more effectively than text. And with the web going the multimedia way, the future freshlimeso-da.com will have to synergize content with a few relevant graphics. This site is probably the first in India created by teens for the teens. It is winning awards, and is ripe to be acquired.
