        <p>Has anyone tried this online game?
</p>
<p>
Beside shooting blood everywhere and doing quests for others, talking to monsters that I&#8217;ll never find in real life ... I found this game interesting for surviving ( although are lot&#8217;s of topics to be covered ).
</p>
<p>
A difference from Wikipedia ( you only have content ) this game kind of force you to read about topics / ideas / concepts ( learning without knowing it )
</p>
<p>
Idea of the game: Win credits for solving questions and use the credits to post your own questions for other users to solve!
</p>
<p>
Take a look around you can find the concept useful for you.

        <p>With the widespread use of ecommerce businesses are using the world of resources now at their doorstep. They have realized that outsourcing helps them stay competitive and is a profitable option. Outsourcing means hiring a third party to do in-house jobs. Offshoring means sending jobs out of the country perhaps to another branch or an entirely different company. Offshore outsourcing has become very popular in recent years thanks to the fact that a lot of money can be saved by it without compromising on quality. It is an especially economical solution for small businesses because it saves them the trouble of having to hire and train new personnel, upgrade the infrastructure etc for any new big project that they get. All this would prove to be costly and take time. Instead by outsourcing to another company not only do they get instant results but also utilize the time saved by the in-house staff to handle mission critical jobs.
</p>
<p>
India, China and Singapore have been identified as the top three outsourcing destinations in Asia. India has the edge over other countries because of its large human resource of English speaking engineers and computer professionals. The labour is cheaper and the quality of work is of extremely high quality. The geographical location of India also makes a 24X7 operation possible. There is a 12 hour difference between most parts of the US and India which makes it possible to submit a job and seemingly finish it fast. Indian cities have experts for every possible IT related job. India has long come a long way from undertaking simple data entry jobs to handling major turnkey projects. Any <b><i><a href="http://www.ispg.co.in/">Web Development Company India</a></i></b> would use the latest technical expertise to deliver a website at half the cost of a western firm.
</p>
<p>
Detractors of outsourcing point out that not every company, vendor or self professed expert is able to deliver what it promises. Also outsourcing affects the local job market of the company from where the jobs are being outsourced. Inspite of a lot of politicians and lawmakers making their stand against outsourcing, especially in the US, it continues to be a popular business option.

        <p>I have to say, as a patient for more than 3 years, Leaf and Jonathan Song have helped me more than words can say. I am a completely new person thanks to them and I encourage people to come to them for help. They are life savers! And such great souls to get to know.
