Are You In The Blogosphere?
Thursday, November 24th, 2011Blogosphere is the collection of all blogs on the
Internet. There are more than 172 million blogs in the blogosphere. Bloggers create more than 1 million new posts in the blogosphere every day.

They were perhaps right; the credit crunch had hit hard on their businesses and they were left with no choices apart from shoe-string budgets for IT-ITES needs. Vendors or outsourcing providers also responded in a similar fashion. But, the employees felt the heat most. Salaries were reduced, lot of employees were laid off and company budgets were reduced across the globe. By adopting such life-saving measures, most businesses were able to withstand the pressure. However, life hasn’t been the same ever since.
