I guess they have installed PHPFox - Social Networking Script

You can try a demo @ Social Networking Community - Powered By PHPFox

I have tried that, they have a Facebook Theme, which looks exactly like Facebook (or should I say flatparty

)

Yet another fb ripoff, but it's backed by our bigshots (specifically politicians i guess).
For me, it's an honeypot by government to track those who curse our govt.. :lol:

P

flat party or ....congress party

Anyone remember Zurker?

I will not register, hell I won't even visit their website. Who knows they have some malware on their website & eat up all my personal data through cookies or java or flash or whatever :evil:

.

I was going through the sites Privacy Policy and I came across this :

2.5 Using the Service and the transmission of applicable data, if any, is subject to United States export controls. No Service or otherwise exported or re-exported in violation of U.S. export laws and will be at your sole risk.

If it really is an Indian site, why would we be bound by US export laws?

Clearly shows that this is a half baked product, no one even bothered to look up the privacy policy, which I believe is the default one that came with the website kit.

I know, but why is he endorsing a US based company? Imagine if he were endorsing Zurker.

Guys,

Seems everyone is trying to ride a boat which already over crowded. Also I think we will never be out of xerox as we alway good in patching up the things :razz:

If they have to come into this space they should come with some new ideas.
What a waste of things and our government endorse such things shows how much they are infulenced with it.

Maybe it happened to S.Tharoor too. :lol:

Well,I think Mr Tharoor is a true American at heart?
During an occasion,in India,where the Indian national anthem was being played,Mr Tharoor asked the people to place their right hands over their hearts just like the way they do when the Star Spangled Banner is played in U.S-which obviously,later, lead to a controversy.
so...
