None of the Asian county is neither in the happiest nor the richest list.  This opens another discussion to find out the reasons for why it has happened like that.  However this article shows the comparison of the  most Richest Vs Happiest.  Enjoy!!

Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg recently participated a conference held in UK.

“growth is primary, revenue is secondary”

The objective of the Facebook has been to attract more and more people and expand the size of its community


He further said ‘What every great internet company has done is figure out a way to make money that matches what they are doing on the site.


I don't think that social networks can be monetized in the same way that search did," But on both sites people find information valuable. I'm pretty sure that we will find an analogous business model. But we are already experimenting.


One group is very focused on targeting; another part is focused on social recommendation from your friends. In three years from now we have to figure out what the optimum model is. But that is not our primary focus today”


Facebook earns money by publishing Advertisements in its content. According to him Web searching will not be the everlasting solution to access information. He is trying to make social networking as the media to access information. Simply if his dreams come try you will browse internet not though Google but through Facebook. Good Luck

LSE poised to acquire Sri Lankan Technology Company

The London Stock Exchange is expected to announce, possibly as early as Tuesday, the acquisition of Millennium IT, a Sri Lankan trading technology company, as the group embarks on a massive upgrade of its trading platform.

The move marks the biggest step yet taken by Xavier Rolet, chief executive, to dismantle the legacy of his predecessor Clara Furse. The exchange’s existing TradElect trading system was upgraded two years ago at a cost of £40m ($66m)

I recieved the following news and thought of sharing this with those who interested.

LavaSoft, one of the world’s leading anti-spyware organisations, has selected Sri Lanka as the destination to outsource its software development. LavaSoft was looking out for the ideal location in a South Asian region country with high skills and an ethical workforce that was able to deliver high quality software services.

Based in Gothenberg , Sweden , LavaSoft is the world’s first Anti Spyware organisation, which commenced operations in Germany in 1999 before moving to Sweden in 2002. In keeping with their corporate mission statement to “deliver high quality security software solutions that protect individual computer users”, LavaSoft, from their very first commercial application onwards has evolved to represent a vast range of internationally reputed, quality Anti-Spyware products, and has grown to become the global pioneer in this arena. Having won countless awards and high recognition, LavaSoft currently has over 4,000 partners in 120 countries. With over 350 million Ad-Aware downloads which have made it the largest marketing base in the global software security industry, LavaSoft continues to be the world-leader in the field of Anti-Spyware today.

LavaSoft executives were directed to this region by the Swedish Trade Council. After a study tour to Sri Lanka and filtering through eight local software outsourcing companies operating in Colombo, Lavasoft made its decision after analysing the competence, quality and delivery track record by the prospective outsourcing partners. Having selected Eurocenter DDC as their partnering company in Sri Lanka , LavaSoft commenced this exclusive partnership for outsourced execution with the local software engineering company.

“We were very impressed by the efficiency, competence and world class professionalism with which Eurocenter handled our initial pilot project” said Cliff Everingham, CTO of LavaSoft. He added “It was nice to meet a company in Sri Lanka which had the skill-set, hands-on experience and the capacity to deliver beyond our expectations, which is exactly what we were seeking. With a fast project turnaround timeframe and high level of competency we are now more than assured that we found the ideal company to work with in Eurocenter DDC”.
