"Creating a Twitter account is fine whereas to use it effectively is another thing. We need to wait and see how KF is making use of it and for how much time.. As of now, they can enjoy the first mover advantage. There are also Wipro, TCS, Infosys on Twitter -Himanshu Sheth." - Himanshu Sheth

"Nice analysis Ashwin !!! One thing you forgot: The model on which Nano is being sold right now, book now with full amount and you would get the car in few months; this is what is going to save Tata Motors from their Rs. 7200 crore debt. Just like Reliance got the low pricing model of phones with their sapna Roti,Kapda,Makan aur phone; Tata will one more to the list which is NANO :) I am in for NANO since IMHO that is the only car my small pockets can afford :) -Himanshu Sheth." - Himanshu Sheth

"Great post !!! Being an Embedded professional, there was a misconception whether my blog and other social media tools could be used or not.However, it landed me in the first startup as a co-founder and after parting ways, my next job in a bigger startup came through LinkedIn. Beyond a certain level, there is not much juice left in the job sites since they SPAM you with unwanted jobs and you don't have the permission to stop them in desperate times.However, Social Media gives us a chance to do permission marketing(in Seth Godin's term) where we show ourself in the way we want to and to the people whom we should show to (indirectly, permission to choose the employers).After the arrival of Twitter, even that has become a great tool to market yourself like my profile http://twitter.com/hjsblogger , after just putting a T-Shirt with ENTREPRENEUR as my home page, I could see loads of people following me, which was not the case before. The bottom line is "Choose the right Social Media tool..." - Himanshu Sheth

"Very nice article, glad I landed here from Twitter :) Well, I was associated with a startup of 3 people as a SO CALLED Co-Founder. One thing which is so very important in a REAL Technology startup is "Correct Division of Responsibilities" and this would be the case whether we start with a friend or not. To be honest, I am planning to startup with my wife :) and I see that my Startup couple friends face lot of issue in getting the THIRD person, since it is very difficult to see what is happening in someone else's bedroom, same was the case with our startup (Husband + Wife + 2 outsiders) Lovely Tips, thanks for sharing them. -Himanshu Sheth" - Himanshu Sheth

"It is there in our Indian mindset that once we are used to FREE STUFF , we would never go for PAID ONE.Sulekha is THE only place for guys who think of staying on rent. Right now there would be many guys(including myself) who have really made people to search on Sulekha but now Evangelists like me would slowly reduce in number, time would tell how their paid service goes. -Himanshu Sheth" - Himanshu Sheth

"May be I missed LinkedIn :) But during these tough times, you can open your Card Holder and check which guy would be useful for you(either for a job or for your venture). These services would still get new clients byt slashing their price but what about Product companies (no more purchasing power, Chinese products might flourish MORE now) And yeah, nice to see you around on my blog after ages!!! >> I came after ages since you posted an article AFTER AGES :) Keep Blogging !!! -Himanshu Sheth" - Himanshu Sheth

"Well Ashwin, I felt, I would be an appropriate person to comment on this post.Though I was not laid off but my earlier experience with a VERY early stage startup and than searching for a job [After the Lehman Brothers nightmare] has been quite exciting....now again with a startup :) I would like to add couple of things: 1..No free biscuits,tea / snacks is an excellent way of cost cutting for a BIG organization where it would definitely spend at least lakhs of rupees daily.However, the downfall of this is that "We as employees are so used to it that such small moves would definitely send a chill in the employees[indicating something is really wrong with the company]..In fact, this is the best starting point to cut ample amount of costs. 2. Now if we feel that work is less/no work, we as Job Seekers need to be smart...gone are the days when jobs came from Naukri..now everything is so much dependent on sites like LinkedIn [from where I got a job in the current startup] and we need to be..." - Himanshu Sheth
