We all know about our famous job site named “Rozee.pk” i have used it a number of times and it is being used by majority of IT houses here in Pakistan. In my opinion its one of the best well made and well maintained job site in Pakistan.

But lately Rozee.pk is violating my privacy by sending me un-wanted or un-registered e-mails usually known as “Spam”. When i signed up for rozee it didn’t ask me the question “do you want to receive notification for other services offered by rozee.pk”, i checked into my account setting to see if such an option exists but could not find any. Then i opened the e-mail and tried to find the sentence that states “To Unsubscribe click here” but no such thing exist in the e-mail they send about “World Human Resource Forum” event that is being held in Pakistan. I even made an effort to e-mail there support about the issue and so far have not yet received any response ! So is this the level responsibility Rozee.pk is offering to its consumers by violating there privacy, not following any rules and unfortunately living in Pakistan no one can put up a law suite against them on this issue!

Apart from reporting there e-mail address “mailbot@rozee.pk” as spam what option are we left with !

Recently i have seen tons of online potential emerging in Pakistan, i have seen the first startup for international market like iScrybe which never started so far but was a positive effort and even gained Google attention for accusation which didn’t happened, i have seen Wixed which some say is a Pakistani startup but i was unable to digg in any information as to where they belong ! but still seems like a very exciting application. The our local job site Rozee took tons of attention and gained alot of popularity.
Then there are tons of Bloggers like me who exist, sites like Bloggers by a famous Karachi Blogger Teeth Maestro made an effort to collect them together and made me feel that i am not alone, publishing platforms got hot with sites like greenwhite.org one of my fav blog reading site which i also planned to re-designed but never got time apologies, also Pakistaniat a political blog another startup buzzVines a platform to publish for everyone and having approximately more then 300 publishers who write for them occasionally. Then there is Metro Blogging of Lahore / Karachi / Islamabad running quite actively.
The story does not end here, the news papers and media sites have started paying alto of attention to there online sites as well, the most pathetic and most famous site DAWN is planning to relaunch there website by improving it alot, The Nation is also expected to do something like that, Jung Group launched there URDU blog which is quite interesting.

Other young lot have launched sites like creative-pakistan a clone of cssMania, sites like Pakwheels.com is also gaining good attention but lack alot in technical smoothness and quality accessible / usable design as i happened to test this site. Telecoms Industry has also improved alot in there online presence like ufone going best and Mobilink going worst (my personal recommendation thou i use mobilink but don’t like there site’s design)

So all this information ads to one simple answer our IT or our Dot Com Industry is growing at a very rapid speed, our youth are spending time online away from MSN chat etc and are doing something worth while.  On the footnote its a positive growth and a sign for entrepreneur to seek deep into open opportunities lying right here in Pakistan.
