Facebook is still banned in Bangladesh. None can use it from computer or from mobile using inbuilt mobile browser!
Yesterday in my last post I wrote about the causes of blocking facebook from various online and news media. Today same news is come out in every print media. One facebook user named Mahbub Alam Rodin is arrested by RAB due to illegal activities against popular leader of Bangladesh. And prothom alo website also mentioned other cause of some anti religious facebook group.
What ever, the main point is its TEMPORARY! So, hope for the shortest period of banning!
Some can still use facebook from Bangladesh::
Yes, easily anyone can use facebook from opera mini browser as it uses some European IP address itself.
Some people is using proxy server for using facebook in computer.
Come on, approx 8 lac of users use facebook from Bangladesh and most of the users don't know this kinda technology to use facebook from Bangladesh. And when the facebook is banned most of the users aren't able to use it from Bangladesh.
Some has shifted to twitter but twitter is more a microblogging site than a social network. Moreover twitter is not as popular as facebook in Bangladesh.
Better we wait for the unban of facebook soon and hope all those illegal activities will be deleted from facebook soon.

Facebook BREAKING NEWS ::: facebook is Banned in Bangladesh
Yes :-( Facebook is banned in Bangladesh. Sad news for us. But BTRC says its temporary (according to the daily star). I can't access facebook from my pc from this evening. Suddenly facebook website was not opening. I thought may be some net problem or some net speed problem, but few times ago I got information from the daily star and bdnews24.
Why?
Not clear for me. But may be some anti political activities by some facebook users. One facabook user is arrested by Rapid Action Bettelion 10 this morning due to some illegal anti political activities. (personaly I don't know about it, but daily star says due to some cartoons of our famous leaders - know nothing about it)
Some people says, they can still use facebook from Mobile using opera mini!
Yes, because opera mini usages different IP address by itself. (there may be some other cause, but I think its the main cause! )
Suddenly twitter is becoming famous ::
Yes, due to ban of facebook, Bangladeshi social networking users are moving towards twitter. I gave my last status as ' I'm available in twitter as @n_h_sarja '
{This page will automatically published in my facebook as it is a preset system, so if you find this in facebook, please don't think that I've done it as its not possible, that is banned. But due to the automatic feed updates it'll show at facebook.}
Whatever next ::
Hope govt will remove the ban after the illegal activities become normal. Hope the lag time will be short. We should help our country for our better development.

Facebook Bangladesh : Bangladesh is deprived of facebook sms and zero facebook
Facebook is the most popular social networking website in Bangladesh and according to alexa facebook is the 2nd popular website in Bangladesh. Even its more popular than some very popular website like yahoo.com and google.com.bd .
But facebook do not give proper importance to Bangladesh in terms of their mobile services.
It was started from facebook sms service, most of the south Asian countries have the chance to update their facebook status by sending sms; they get their notification directly to their mobile by sms, but this service is not available in Bangladesh.
We started a facebook group - We want facebook SMS service in Bangladesh!! to show facebook Bangladeshi users demand to start facebook sms service in Bangladesh.
Facebook sms hasn't statrted in Bangladesh yet now.
Moreover we are deprived of the new facebook mobile service - zero facebook !!!
some information about zero facebook:
Today we've changed our previous group name from We want facebook SMS service in Bangladesh!! to We want facebook SMS service & 0.facebook.com in Bangladesh!!
if you want to support us and want these services in Bangladesh, join this group (& request your friends) and write to facebook to start these services in Bangladesh.
as I've mentioned initially that facebook is the second popular website in Bangladesh , In India its the 4th popular website and in Pakistan and Srilanka its in third position.

| zero facebook |
zero facebook – 0.facebook.com is the new mobile website for facebook where you can use facebook without any cost – absolutely free. Means you don't have to pay your service provider to update your status or to comment any link or status or to like them. Its similar to the normal mobile faacebook just it doesn't have the photo service, you can't watch any photo from this site. You'll get more information from here.
Sad but true, Bangladesh isn't listed for zero facebook!!!
Today we've changed our previous group name from We want facebook SMS service in Bangladesh!! to We want facebook SMS service & 0.facebook.com in Bangladesh!!

Some comparison between other countries in terms of facebook popularity:
as I've mentioned initially that facebook is the second popular website in Bangladesh , In India its the 4th popular website and in Pakistan and Srilanka its in third position.
Don't understand after having extreme popularity in Bangladesh why facebook don't give the same importance what they give to other south Asian countries!!!!
