@setopati English edition in 2014 cc @nepalitimes

I was expecting/wishing for this! So, getting setopati english version is like a wish granted for me.
The height of the journos at setopati definitely deserves international coverage. At least south-east asia region.
All the best to the setopati english team!

Himal Media: there, now you have a formidable competitor.

Unicode in URL, really? @nayapatrica

Not to pick on any particular website/magazine, but unicode in url? really (@nayapatrica) nayapatrika??

For example:
http://www.nayapatrika.com/multi-color/11642-कहाँ-छन्-युवा-%3F.html
Which is:
http://www.nayapatrika.com/multi-color/11642-%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%81-%E0%A4%9B%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D-%E0%A4%AF%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BE-%3F.html

I know that with the advent of unicode you can do anything like this:
http://thukka.net/?q=content/सहयोग-गर्छु-भन्दा-पनि-नपाईने-thukka
But, it is not fun!

I   recall  Nagariknews once had unicode nepali in their url. Now they handle it better.

All the news of ekantipur can be just browsed by changing the newsid in their urs:
http://www.ekantipur.com/kantipur/news/news-detail.php?news_id=250473
(no one does it, just a note)

I like the style of kamana prakashan because it makes life easier to browse  the archive.
http://www.newsofnepal.com/detailnews.php?type=dharahara&id=931
Just change the 931 to 930  and you get older news archive.

What is wrong with yahoo news video?

I have noticed that the yahoo news video section have mis-managed videos.
I have noticed it more than once.
Here is one example:

The news was supposed to be that of Avatar... it played something else.
