Announcing "Real Women Online"

"Real Women Online" is a blog/portal/meeting place for ideas was born out of a little idea that Ashwini and I came up with a little while ago.

There are a lot of bloggers around, and a lot of them write really good stuff, but we feel that many women, especially Indian women, are not opening up and talking the way they would like to about non-personal issues, like Politics, Sports, etc. We feel that many of the ladies are either intimidated by others or don't want to expend too much energy into maintaining a full time blog.

This blog is designed to help out in situations like that. We want women (and men) to use our space to post their thoughts, opinions and advice on any issue that is of interest to them, as long as it is not the recipe for the day's breakfast, or details of their love life (not that there is anything wrong with that).

We want women to speak freely here, like there is no one listening. We know they have a lot to say between friends and we want this to be a place like that, where people speak freely, and there is a free exchange of ideas.

This is still in Alpha but we decided to launch this to get some public feedback. We know nothing is perfect and that there is always room for improvement - Please feel free to email us or leave a comment with any suggestions you might have.
