Where is Olulu?

Published on August 29, 2006 in blog, google and Internet. 3 Comments

Was going through the google analytics for karthickraghavan.com. Something was unusual. I had a visitor from Olulu (See picture). Olulu Where the heck is this place? If I still remember my middle school geography correctly, it is in the pacfic ocean. This I say after seeing the map. hehe!

Do people have access to the internet from the middle of the sea? Is Olulu an island? No answers yet. I am going nuts.
P.S. :- I had a visitor from Istanbul (Turkey) and Lucknow (Australia). I never knew there was a Lucknow in Australia. How poor I am in geography!

Are job sites worth using?

I have been seeing ads from a lot of job sites over the internet and other forms of media. In fact, I have tried using a few of them during my job search after college. That was in 2004.

If I remember correctly, these sites offer resume building and personality development courses too. They charge an amount for these additional services. Are these sites worth using? I am listing out a few of the famous Indian job sites below. If you have used any of these or any of your friends have used and were placed in a job let me know. It is just a curiosity to know whether these are worth using.
