Last week was one where jobs was a focus.. So if Rediff top execs exited, Naukri launched its own Paycheck tool to show employee’s whether they are underpaid or over paid. On the entertainment side Star TV premiered one of its serials online prior to the TV release – We questioned whether this was a new trend or a marketing gimmick. There were a bunch of tie ups and acquisitions as well with virgin tying up with nimbuzz and alibaba looking for JV in India.There was rebranding news as well with Mkhoj being rebranded as Inmobi. The big international news was the Social Media Meltdown where in the DDOS attack paralyzed twitter and facebook.
