Since June 26 we have a new member named Gabe. He is what Asia Observer need as an active member. Everyday he put in "shared articles" what he thinks is the main fact in his country. He is the proof that quality is better than quantity.

I have a dream : one member in every of the 30 Asian countries giving us every day the main facts in their country ? So no need to watch so many news agencies and newspapers teeling the same things.

Yes please, among our thousand of guest, who agree to be Asia observer "special correspondant" for his (her) country ?

I hope we soon have 29 others Gabe

i believe that Asia Observer will come to that scene
where more members could come and contribute.

i usually go to BBC, MSN and Yahoo News, and realise that
Asia Observer has all the news digested and summarised here here..

so much better to contribute and read everything here more often.

We can also make our forum community friendlier
when all of us talk about everything specially Asia-

In the last days, I saw that the same topic has been shared by users.

There is a a lot of subjects to share. Why 2 or 3 users said the same thing through different newspapers or agencies.

Before sharing an article, please look what the others members shared before, and post on the same subject only if you think that your article is giving a plus

hi jacques,
i think it's a good start to have all members contributing at least 1 news from their countries, maybe we should make it under a new subject : OUR DAILY NEWS (??)
i believe the news shall give us new sight of what's going on INSIDE, coz not all news are published in English...
will try to post one tomorrow ..

Yes Choco, I have already suggested that in every Asian country where we have users, one of them (at least) agree to be Asia Observer "special envoy" as Gabe do for Japan.

For Indonesia, I was was thinking to you. You have been the only one Indonesian user to be a "featured member" so we account on you.

There are some English newspapers and English version of news agencies in your country.Please, share with us the main political and society news.

Your country is around 40 % of Southeast Asia (regarding population and Superficy). Everything happening in your country affect all Southeast Asia.

Please give us the best on Indonesia for all of us

That was nice and very interesting of you choco-
i am looking forward to that

ruth is quite busy but i know he will post about asia
and a lot about singapore too-

i wish caroline could tell us more about
china and hong kong, being a chinese herself-
i believe she could express well in these matters-

anumpashaa , junaid, and others more about pakistan

pradeep and others about india



hi john and jacques,

i am a little bit confused, we have the hompage
of our site, we also have the forums with respective countries, but what is more suitable shared articles
in our home page ( front page) the hot current issues
only?

because there are bits of teenie, winnie news which
are also interesting but would rather be placed where?

Home page or country forums?

To Choco,

If what you have send on this forum is an article and not your comment, it has to be posted in &quot;Shared articles&quot; with &quot;Indonesia&quot; as country and the link to find this article, plus a short introdution to it.

To Linsi

An interesting article on Asia for our world community, on any kind of subject (but no too light topics), you found somewhere on the web can be in three kinds of situation.

1) This article is unique and don't need comments and you have put it in shared articles.

2) It is related to one of our forums topics, including light topics, and you want it in support of you reply on this forum or for to criticize this article. So you insert it after your reply.

3) This article looks like a good start for a new forum discussion and you put a new trend with questions about the subject of this articles.

Their is a new king of &quot;fake&quot; forums. It is the categorie called &quot;All about&quot; It is a place where the very main facts about a country can be found without to be obliged to search among hundreds or thousands of articles when you clic its name (It is like an interactive A.O. Encyclopedia). For instance On August 19, the Thai people will have to adopt a new constitution or to reject it. That day the results and comments will be published in shared articles. The best article will also be in &quot;All about Thailand&quot; because the shared article will soon disappear but not the one in the &quot;All about Thailand&quot;

Is it clear for you or I give you one more cup of coffee ?
