TheViewsPaper : Voice of the youth!
Well, as I said that I’ll be going to Proto.in 2008 and will be live blogging from there (Thanks to the Wi-Fi, which never worked! I wasn’t able to live blog). However, as I promised that I’ll be covering most of the startups (I thought of covering all the startups, however many of them couldn’t impress me much) over here. So here I go with the first startup which showcased at Proto.In 2008 I.e. The ViewsPaper.
Unfortunately, just like many other countries India is also affected with Corruption and various other social problems and most of the people just ‘crib‘ about them and still do nothing to change any of that.
The ViewsPaper is a portal enriched with new media, concentrating on the Indian youth (specific youth) which wants to change the way India works. The ViewsPaper is trying to bring in the power of youth, who thinks that things can be changed if the right steps are taken.
The ViewsPaper combines the power of blogs, social networks, community and yes the most important factor Youth to raise the voice and highlights the important factors which can bring the change in the society.
The ViewsPaper is combination of Blogs, Newspaper, Social Networks & Magazine and focuses on various subjects like Politics, Arts, Education, Sports, Entertainment but they ensure that they discuss only those topics which can affect the society and that’s what I liked about them.
I was really impressed with the idea because not only they are focusing on something social but if at all this gets viral I’m sure that this portal will be able to make a lot of change in the way people take the ideology of Youth of India.
Here’s their presentation where they were pitching the idea in front of the VCs & all the entrepreneurs :
