Welcome
to the new look Asia Times Online. Besides the look,
we have introduced several new features and services.
Archive Readers have long
asked for a search/archive system so they can find
our older articles. Unfortunately, we are still
unable to provide a searchable database. What we
do have now is a system that allows you to access
any of our Front Pages, and the articles on them,
dating back to February 2001.
More business news Our
main pages now have a specific area for business
news. We will be continually upgrading our business
coverage over the course of the year.
Currency converter Our
currency converter handles 164 currencies, from
Afghanis to Zimbabwean dollars, with up to date
exchange rates provided by leading market data
contributors.
Advertising information We're offering
the cheapest rates available just about anywhere,
and we put advertisers in touch with a global
readership comprising people of importance and
influence.
About Us Many of
you have asked: "Who are you guys?" Now you
can find out.
And … We have introduced many new pages
featuring specific writers and topics. For example,
there is a Book Reviews section,
a Central Asia Oil and Gas Briefs
page, a page devoted to our popular Pyongyang
Watch
column, and another to our ongoing "Sri
Lanka: The Untold Story" serialization.
We expect to
continue improving our website, expanding our
coverage and introducing new services. Any
comments or suggestions from readers are most
welcome. Please email
