The site is definitely inspired by the Onion, but it makes quite a decent effort to adapt the content to the Indian workplace scenario.\u00a0 The site also has the latest Amul creative (wonder if they took permissions for that), Amul being a good example of how good creatives can still rule.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">What is funny (no pun intended) though is that the TT homepage has no links to this. In fact, considering the fact that job portals &#8211; old and new are grasping at any straws for differentiation, and this seems to be a good engagement device, I&#8217;d have thought that TT would&#8217;ve at least communicated this, if not hyped it much. And its not as though this is the first edition, it is the second. I agree with WOMM in general, but a little bit of seeding does help. To be fair, maybe they did send a mailer to the TT database, which I&#8217;m not part of.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">until next time, hope it has a safe flight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quite a while back, after several months of &#8216;The Onion&#8217; fandom, I wanted to start a similar site for India.
