Northgate Technologies Sets Up Social Media India To Promote BharatStudent.com
BSE listed Northgate Technologies has informed the bourses that they’ve set up an Indian subsidiary called Social Media India Ltd, which will seek online advertising for their social networking portal BharatStudent.com. Vishnu Vardhan Induri, head of Bharatstudent.com has been appointed MD of Social Media India. [via the Hindu] The portal was launched on March 10 this year by Axill Europe, a UK based wholly owned subsidiary of Northgate.
Now Bharatstudent is a rather controversial site: it’s alleged that they’re hosting pornographic content, and luring users from Orkut by posting links to that content on scraps…not something that the exchanges and investors would like to know.

Nikhil, it's not simply "alleged". It's right out there that the exchanges and investors can't miss.
Hundreds of Orkut communities are spammed with objectionable content, with tons of direct links to Bharatstudent.com in communities message board. If they do deny this sneaky attempt to steal the Orkut network, then they'd better issue a disclaimer (to convince their investors/exchanges), and stop their subversive activities, simply to show inbound traffic to their advertisers, investors and exchanges.
I'm sure, they have platoon of temp. hires to spam Orkut and possibly other popular networks.
Wonder why Orkut isn't doing anything about Bharatstudent.com and its like? They're a menace!!!
"Wonder why Orkut isn’t doing anything about Bharatstudent.com and its like"
simple answer : Google is not a Fly swatter .killing /blocking them will make them a worthy adversary . which they are not . by any stretch of imagination .
sites like Bharatstudent.com will have their 5 minutes of fame and die .
seriously i don't see a point why they are paying for server space and bandwidth to host all the crap .
prashant,
"i don’t see a point why they are paying for server space and bandwidth to host all the crap…"
simple so the shareholders can pump and dump the stock.
Whats the point in creating a separate entity to manage its online duties.. and to top of it the same person will lead the entity.
Their online duties(activities) are anyways in news for wrong reasons.. ??
Hi,
Ya seems quite controversial.
well, this company is all for stock market game.
I guess all social networking sites are adopting the route, but why is every one so obsessed with bharatstudent.com? i have logged in to the site and never found any such objectionable content in the site. What ever said and done they have reached a state where people are talking about them (Good or Bad) just as all media is talking bad about orkut. lets not make it famous by talking about it if its not worth it.
i agree with manoj ..i didnt saw any bad content in bharatstudent.com
great discussion
i saw there but i did nt got any volgure videos…
