I am the owner of Buzzvines.com Just to add to what you have mentioned, the idea behind Buzzvines is to promote free speech in Pakistan, which should not be restricted to the technical community. A lot of us, from all walks of life, want to add our share of experiences and thoughts, to help bring a change for better. To change opinions and to enlighten others with our (a different) point of view. In Pakistan, unfortunately, this descretion of power was held mainly by the journalist community and later (more recently), it expanded to individual bloggers (technology gurus) who found a way to express their thoughts online. But still a common man, from some other background in arts or socialism, does not have access to such liberty of sharing their thoughts online. Buzzvines is an initiative towards empowering that common man, who has the vision to analyze issues and wants to have his inputs on that. And just to clarify our position, Buzzvines.com is not associated with any commercial organization like Wateen or Mobilink or Nestle for their sole promotion, but does provide a platform for information broadcast on any of these, as desired by the user. In the end, I would request all readers/ viewers of this feed/ post to please help promote this platform for creating an enlightened and well-informed society. Thanks Amer -- Dear Osama
