The Best Site To Access the Leaked US Embassy Cables

Confused about the leaked US Embassy Cables and wikileaks?
Irritated that newspapers are reporting only a few of the cables and you would like to have your hands on the original cables and come to your own conclusions?
Help is here ...

The best source for accessing the cables - that I find convenient - is the Guardian interactive database. The user interface is wonderful. The database is fronted by a worldmap. All you need to do is point to the country you are interested in and out pops all the cables that are relevant.
For example, as on date there are 18 cables that are linked to India.

Here, have fun: The Guardian Interactive Guide To The Leaked US Embassy Cables.

Tech Savvy News Media

Are the traditional news power houses keeping up with the times?

How tech friendly are they?
Here have a look.

This study is driven by the fact that Dell is now entering the smart mobile market and Nokia is thinking of getting into netbooks.

India

Print Media

Times of India - has a mobile edition and has a downloadable shortcut. But when I tried to load on a blackberry it failed. Perhaps not yet ready for Blackberry Bold.

Indian Express - does not have a mobile edition
The Hindu - does not have a mobile edition
Deccan Herald - does not have a mobile edition
Hindustan Times - does not have a mobile edition
Economic Times - has a mobile edition and has a downloadable shortcut. But when I tried to load on a blackberry it failed. Perhaps not yet ready for Blackberry Bold.

India Today - does not have a mobile edition
The Week - does not have a mobile edition
Outlook - does not have a mobile edition

Electronic Media

NDTV - does not have a mobile edition
Times Now - does not have a mobile edition
CNN IBN (IBM Live) - has a mobile edition and has downloadable bookmark. Works.

Outside of India

Print Media

Guardian - has a mobile edition but no downloadable shortcut.
Times - has a mobile edition and has a downloadable shortcut. Works.
New York Times - has a mobile edition and has a downloadable shortcut. Works.

Wall Street Journal - Has a mobile edition. Also has a downloadable shortcut as well as a live reader.

Financial Times - has a mobile edition but no downloadable shortcut.

Electronic Media
CNN - has a mobile edition and has a downloadable shortcut. Works.
BBC - has a mobile edition but no downloadable shortcut.

This is depressing. Guess Indian Press has some catching up to do. Or perhaps they are waiting for more smart phone penetration.
