I love teaching and had taken up a visiting faculty assignment at an MBA school in south delhi. Yesterday i was talking to them about the need to network as part of building relationships. I asked them how they normally network. And the singular answer i received from all was "the net".
and one of the more popular ones was orkut ...
Orkut is a very popular social networking site - recently acquired by google - it provides people with an opportunity to write about themselves and meet people online. It is universe where people share their lives - events, photos, interests, talk - thru skype - .
Realising the kind of interest provoked by this medium by young individuals aroung the world - Internet media companies are paying a lot of attention to social networking.
There are a lot of companies who intend to start such websites. they represent excellent advertising oppotunities for companies - considering the fact that it grabs the eyeballs of the most consumeristic section of population the youth in the 25-35 age bracket.
For recruiters - this again is a great candidate mining opportunity .....for finding the right kind of candidates ...after all the 25-35 is the most significant candidate group...
popular social networking sites include ... www.orkut.com, www.del.icio.us.com and for a complete list visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_networking_websites
