On the Talent Bar at Socialmedian
Was surprised to see that my blog’s feed has been added to the Socialmedian network Talent Bar. Check it out if you have an alpha invite of Socialmedian
I was visiting the site after a long time – spurred by Jason’s email that spoke about how 2 iPhones would be gifted to two people who get the biggest number of followers 
Some interesting developments I saw were that if you update your name on the settings page, it senses your twitter, friendfeed and other web presence sites and shows them to you, and you can add it to your profile. How cool is that!
Then there’s a twitter like thingy called Snip – you share a snip and your news networks get updated on your status. Nice.
And more on the iPhone contest by Jason:
The two individual on socialmedian who have the most followers
(besides myself and any other socialmedian employee) by midnight
eastern time this Friday, July 18, we’re going to give a free iphone
to. Just a little something to help folks start to discover some of the
new features.
Not too many jobs in Mumbai?

It’s raining bad news for those seeking jobs. According to an employment outlook report, companies are reluctant to hire in the period between July and September due to inflation and the oil price hike.The report prepared by by staffing company Teamlease says while there’s a dip in the hiring intention of telecom and financial service sectors, retail, media and FMCG are likely to maintain their hiring pace from the last quarter.
The silver lining is the ITES and the BPO sector, which are likely to get a boost with many projects coming into India.
“US recession coming in this year is going to have an impact on the ITES sector on the postive side, given that most outsourcing deals will get cut through and getting outsourced to India,” says Vice-President Teamlease, Sampath Shetty.
