It looks like the folks that have been running a social
networking site similar to FaceBook (but apparently free of blasphemy) are now
hurting for cash. There is a plea from
the founders and operators of “MillatFaceBook.com” (really...you still include
the word facebook in your site - come on now...) to its user community to help
pay for the soon to collapse network.
“MillatFacebook says it sought donations to "help us towards our
goal of keeping this Peaceful Social Network run forever and defeat blasphemer
Facebook”. Facebook has faced multiple
bans in Pakistan because it allowed its users to upload some silly cartoons
which militants deemed blasphemous and representative of the entire 1.5 billion
+ users of facebook. Bright idea - let’s
launch OUR own facebook!!! We’ll add
some silly urdu word to facebook, how about Millat!!! Facebook is about expressing themselves -
millatfacebook can be about oppressing themselves!! Oh this is great - we’ll be the #1 site in
all of Pakistan and the entire world!!!
After 2 years of crickets chirping, millatfacebook.com is now the #10,266
on the most popular websites in Karachi - hard to claim success when you get
outranked by friendster (and I mean NOBODY uses friendster!).
If anything this has proven the 2 things that mullahs should
never run...#1 social networks #2 ANYTHING ELSE
