I was wondering about this, with facebook being "banned" and rumors of a vn-specific social site being developed to replace it.

Well, this is what we've been waiting for. Current users online: 153, as of 4:27 pm 5/23/2010. http://www.go.vn

It's basically a http://www.joomla.org site news portal.

It's better not to discuss any FB related issues here on the board IMO, but better to PM about it.

Authorities do read this site. Better left off of the forum.

Just my opinion.

Well, if they are, I'm thinking they're more interested in capitalizing on our ideas and demographics than "taking names" or whatever. To be sure, I think the trick is to be very respectful of culture even as you change it. It's a balance that if achieved will yield gold.
