This is an officially supported way for Vietnamese people to access Facebook on the go without a computer or smartphone. This is targeting Vietnamese people who mainly access the internet at internet cafes and so using this they won't need to hang around at cafes where they're charged hourly while they wait for someone to comment or like their status updates. This applies to a lot of Vietnamese folks and could lead to even faster adoption of Vietnam's #1 social network. What does that imply about any official government ban on Facebook?</p> http://www.saigonist.com/vietnam/facebook-sms-vietnam-viettel#comments Vietnam facebook sms social network telecom viettel zing Sat, 08 Dec 2012 01:51:16 +0000 tomo 576 at http://www.saigonist.com
