seems a spamming atempt to me; pl evaluate.
I suspect that this id has not taken part in any other discussion, carefully writes a search engine paragraphs making two links to lead to a commercial advertiesment.
Nings are becoming popular now someone could be exploiting.
pl evaluate.

Belayet Hossain said… - Thank you so much Partha Da for your encouraging comment. Definitely that encourage me to be more active at telecentre global community.
As Bangla is an widely spoken language, I think telecentre.org should have a Bangla Language version. Is there any plan to have a Bangla Community Site?
Best wishes to you too...

SESSOU Leonce said… - Hi, Partha,
I have just sent a message to Nabil concerning his pictures and group. Surely he wanted to create a thematic discussion group and hopefully he will do that very soon. So I deleted the group on himself.
I think even if he wants to strengthen the communication with people in Mena region it will be good to name it as a thematic group not on himself which seems more private. Other members could be interested if it is thematic. What do you think ?

Cuchie Echeverria said… - Hi Partha!
Been wondering - shouldn't networks be created here as groups instead of creating a separate profile for them? For instance, we can create a group called PhilCeCNet, and members of our network who have already signed up here can just join the PhilCeCNet group.
This just crossed my mind while I was trying to figure out how we can possibly link telecentre.org with the PhilCeC Portal and encourage our members to sign up here without making it such a burden on their part to have to maintain and update at least two different accounts. Still mulling over it up to this time.
