Search for Satyam and get a job!

BANGALORE, INDIA: The share prices of Satyam may be plunging southwards, but the graph of the number of people searching for keywords related to the fiasco is a different story altogether.

CyberMedia News took a walk around cyberia to see what results crop up when you type Satyam as a keyword across different search engines. The results are quite interesting:

Google sensibly throws up news results for Satyam rotating links from various Indian and international news agencies and publications, followed by link to the Satyam website.

The fun begins after this! The third link is called Satyam's talent search; a link to Satyam's job openings page, which specifies how to 'transform beyond your dreams' and what qualities Satyam expects out of you for each job opening.

Interestingly, we didn't find any mention of balance sheet manipulation expertise!

The page also lists out 'Seven habits to think like a CEO', which has points like 'process centric approaches' and 'develop and sustain long term relationships with stakeholders'.

Apparently, 'it's not about position but all about action'. 'It's not about taking responsibility in parts but owning end-to-end'. AHEM!

Yahoo, on the other hand, gives an all-inclusive page that has news, links to the site, a section on share prices, where most numbers were red in colour, accompanied by an arrow pointing downwards, links to blog sites, and (if you are sick and tired of the episode) a link to Satyam Multiplexes for you to book a ticket for a movie!

If you are a Tamil movie buff, your search also yields results that point you to the IndiaGlitz.com site which gives you the synopsis of a actor named Vishal-starrer 'Satyam'. Phew, do we need more drama?

Rediff throws up interesting results. Besides the obvious, it also has a link on more than one place, to the blog page of a certain 'satyamshivamsundaram', besides links to Satyam Computers' placement papers, and suggestions on how you should ideally be searching for Satyam Cinema or Satyam theatre.

Fed up, you type www.ramalingaraju.com, looking for the Satyam chairman's bandwagon of followers. And alas, you find the site offline.

Technology is funny sometimes, and in occasions like these, one needs to enjoy these lighter moments to have hope on Indian outsourcing, deviate your mind away from the recession, and just have a good laugh.

While at it, you might want to type in Nifty in the search tab of Google to look at the share market index. Don't tell us we didn't warn you of porn content!
