Google Goes to Pakistan

[Veeru]

I guess it has more to do with positive results Pakistani IT industry has started to show more consistantly e.g., recent awards for Pakistani Industry and World's No. 1 Blackberry app. etc

Read the news carefylly.

The trip, writes YouTube News chief Steve Grove on the Google blog, was inspired in part by the company’s pledge of $1 million to the country following its floods, as part of its commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative.

Googlers have been taking a number of trips to the Middle East, including one to Iraq does it because of IT in Iraq??

It might not be google for India but Indian slums are living on charity

I still fail to find the answer to get jealous about.

You are lying!

Are we discussing Indian slums, we are discussing google and their charity.

You are lying!

No i am not...

Do not!

What was wrong with that? you claimed that google is gonna start operations in multiple locations in pakistan. so i just asked what kind of operations do they intend to start and at what locations

What a classic example of hardening your stance without knowing a darn thing about the facts behind the issue!!! Steve said that the idea to go to Pakistan had come about based on the interactions they had had with Google's Pakistan team and numerous Pakistani tech groups at the time Google Corporate contributed to the flood drive.

The purpose of the trip was not flood relief. It was an IT focused trip and all the meetings they had are reflective of this.

The Google team was meeting politicians, including the Gov. of Punjab Salman Taseer, to discuss their involvement in Pakistan. They went to this meeting with Badar Khushnood, the Google coordinator for Pakistan (based here):

They also held tech events:

And met several CEOs, entrepreneurs, technologists etc.:

So no. This was not about flood relief, it was purely business and promotion of Pakistan as a destination; that is the case this team is making within Google Corporate.

india already has mig and su,s but it still burns on pak f-16, why explain it now

i remember how india used to cheer on every run they made in ODIs

it just reminds me how indians cry on every development in pakistan..

Don't worry about the certain bharatis. They always try to play down any positive economic happenings in Pakistan. It happens in so many threads. They just want to spread pessimism and bad news about the economy. They can't stand anything positive.
