Here's the latest in Outsourcing (15~20 May 2007)
The past couple of weeks saw the continued bombardment aimed against outsourcing based largely on two events.
1) In Springfield, a new law aimed at discouraging the outsourcing of school services awaits the governor's approval. Oh well, if they can afford the higher cost and inefficiencies that go with it, it's fine with me.

2) James Macpherson, publisher of pasadenanow.com hired two Indians to cover the city's council meeting via the Internet. A lot of people ganged up on the entrepreneur, a start up who works from his house. Never mind that one of the two is a graduate from UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism. They simply raised hell, made Macpherson the butt of jokes and at least one even called his idea- cheap.
Until now, the brouhaha over this innovation is yet to end. My opinion as a consumer is simple, there are other websites/newspapers that will cover the council meetings. If the two Indians perform below standard, I can always subscribe to the other providers. Easy, don't you think so?
Then why all this buzz? Scared at the Indians? Probably.
