It's gone from finding new and different bloggers - writers whom I didn't know and was exposed to through some fantastic articles - to updates on the same writers over and over again. This is NOT to take away from the quality of the writers currently on DP themselves; just that DP used to be much more innovative in terms of finding new and interesting writing out there. As with the print media in India, we seem to be moving towards a "coterie" mentality on the blogosphere on DP...now there's a blog post in itself! :)<br/><br/>DG - totally agree with you re DC & DP. DC is still finding its own space, and while I may disagree with a LOT of posts out there, I do find it to be much more open to divergent opinions, and also less "coteried" (if that's not a real word, I create it now!)

Vulturo is not just a contributor, is he? He is the owner of DP now.
Nope. I’m the owner (always have been).

And trust me, I’ve always loved what DC is doing. Aaman knows that. I’m also a part of DC network. Just time and priorities have made me a stranger there.
