We have been waiting for this day for 6 months. Skillda India just went BETA. Think of it as a a mashup of Orkut, Linked-In and Naukri. There are lots of differences, mostly functional and a few which are much more important.
We have a lot of cool technology that is still to reach the live site, like our new Resume Analysis tools which try to semantically analyze all those cryptic resumes people have. :) And we are building our own little version of Google Map-Reduce, so that we could offload processing load off the main server to other hardware we can "afford" right now.
We would like to thank the world of Open Source for everything we have online. There is not a bit of proprietary technology involved in Skillda. We are eagerly waiting for the day when we can contribute back on a big scale.
There is still a _lot_ of work to be done, but this is like the end of the beginning. Right now, and until we stabilize our operations we are limited to users in India. After that, well... who knows. They are all just plans for now.
We have also started the Skillda Blog .
Meanwhile, enjoy the site...
