Tech News Beats

Have you heard “Australian for Beer”? Hear this too, Australian for money. They know how to make it and steps only where it means business. These days with racial abuse rampant on Indian students, they did what will probably create positive buzz. Recently, the Australian government launched a education based social networking website for Indian students who studied in Australia, currently studying or intend to study. It is called My Oz Network.

Australia earns huge revenue from students go to study there and they treat education as another full fledged industry. Recently, Australia has earned a lot of bad press in India following racial attacks. By networking Indians is a good way of keeping up with the latest update of Australian education scene. But it makes huge business sense. Peer group attracts and peer pressure almost compels. So though this social networking site they want more Indian students to come to Australia and study. Also, it is good for Indian students in many ways like networking, communication, quick information gathering etc.
