Mobile/Social Media in the Nepali Media
For those not in the know, I am now in Nepal, and will try to blog from here about some of the Innovative things happening here, with the perspective of someone who has returned for four months after ten years of living abroad.
First, the pleasant surprise delivered by the likely most read newspaper in Nepal.
1. In the Kantipur daily, an SMS poll sponsored by the NIC bank.
2. In the weekly Friday edition, the "week's tweets."
3. In the weekly Friday edition again, HelloShukrabar's (translation: HelloFriday) Facebook page.
Also, at the end of almost any opinion article, there is an invitation to send in comments via SMS.
