Are they in a local language? We launched http://astrobix.com in feb this year and we are going beyond anyone else as far as localization is considered. Our reports are available in as many as 10 Indian languages (though we prefer the interface in English as yet :). Do check out and give me some of your insights on this too.

They sound fake! how can anyone think that the ganesha speaks design is worth an award. it sucks! its ugly and technology is something they should not even touch, they cant get a single report out in time!
