trying to be objective…’shameful’ is too strong a word…I am ok with a not so well groomed beard as well..so long as Bernanke does the job.

same goes for RBI.

reg. content.. I do not think the RBI site was designed by a proper info. architect and maintained by a professional team which earns their idlies and dosais by maintaining sites…its probably under the control of some bureaucrat who knows very little about it… i am sure some guys there equate ‘website’ with technology rather than with media…

Same goes for irctc, the site is pathetic when you compare with cleartrip and makemytrip… but we do not judge railways with irctc…do we?

i do not understand what you mean by ‘this day and age’..the broadband penetration in the whole of india should be in single digit percentages… there is no sec 508 Rehabilitation Act. 1973 compliance in India as is the case in US (for challenged people)…website is not half as serious business here…

Some folks in RBI saw the Fed’s website and decided they too should have one…and they perhaps modeled one based on that..

BTW, I checked some of the pages on the Fed
http://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs.htm.. they’ve clearly given the last update as March 31, 2009…

http://www.federalreserve.gov/feedback.cfm
was last updated on December 3, 2004

not sure if we can call it current…

hopefully nothing has changed in the last 5 months or five years as the case maybe in matters relating to that page…

idhukaaga Fed kevalam nu thitta mudiyadhu…they are after all govt. related and we all know what to expect from bureaucracy…

I do not judge fed/rbi by their website maintenance…that is not their expertise.

RBI email error = Bernanke’s beard?

Wrong analogy.IMHO.

I would rather - If Bernanke as the chairman of Fed has a beard..it better be neat and well groomed !! If not I would call it ‘Shameful’.

I stay my words - It’ too bad that an organization like RBI has a web presence, which IMHO , isn’t maintained !! So, even this day and age, if let’s say a businenessman ( forget commen man like me) has a question, he has to go to the bank in person ( will the phones work? will they answer) …vs..looking it up from the NET while he lives in some village !!

By the way, another question on RBI’s website. How can we be surre that the content in RBI’s website is current? Let’s forget the email etc!
