Wanted: Blogger reporters
By Bala Shah

Techgoss had planned to take a number of advertising initiatives in 2010 to reach out to even more contributors, photographers and readers.  To this end, we have launched an advertising campaign on Facebook India targeting the men and women who work in our IT, BPO, KPO and Telecom sectors. The Techgoss ad campaign on Facebook started on Jan 28, 2010 and will continue for a month.

Do you like taking photos with your mobile phone? Do you have a nose for news? Do you want to contribute but prefer to remain in the background? Do you want the world to know about your nasty boss or pleasant colleague?

Or, if you prefer, just send us anonymous tips with facts to back them up. More the detail in the anon tips, better are the chances of it being published.

Techgoss.com reports on what is really happening in the BPO, IT, KPO, telecom sectors and their social eco systems. Eco systems is another fancy way of saying tech conferences, startup meetings, pubs, parties, bands and social activities.

We are particularly interested in anyone who feels they have a flair for satire and/or cartoons.  We are now blogging at satire site  techgirltalk.blogspot.com and invite anyone who can match Techgirl’s  crazy wit and caustic humour. 

We started techgoss with the motto of 'No Boring Articles'.  But we sometimes run out of interesting material and land up doing some boring articles.  Hence, this job advertisement.
