Online Community Challange in Gn

Nowadays online communities from fuvahmulah seems to be an interesting story. The number of online communities are growing in fuvahmulah day by day and the challenge between these communities are increasing.

Vkanmathi,
FoeOnline,
DhashiadiCommunity,
Abadhuves

These are the leading communities for the time being. All of these websites were uploaded early this year. This shows the usage of Internet is increasing in Maldives. Especially in atolls like Gnatoll. I hope these online communities are going to help the ones who use Internet only for chatting purposes to get into net browsing and being active in such online communities.
