Web 2.0 technologies allow Start-up companies to build great Search tools.

IT Outsourcing is not just to India now:

India which used to get bulk of the IT outsourcing share (about 80%) earlier from US now get less than 60 % and this off shore work is now getting spread across other courtiers like Mexico, Canada, Malaysia, Brazil and China. Some of the reasons being increase in costs, attrition rates, lack of proper infrastructure, etc...

Major Indian IT companies like Satyam, TCS and others are now looking at augmenting their presence in Malaysia, China and other countries to address this.
