Description:	I need the following research done on desi social networking sites: Please note: the research should include ALL desis (indian, bangladesh, pakistan, sri lanka); including users all over the world. Background research should include breakdown of active internet users of each region. - compilation of all desi sites, by number of members (minumum 100,000 registered members) - compilation of desi users by other major networking sites (orkut, hi5, myspace) - analysis of trends of indian/desi users online (good way to start - look at the alexa.com top 100 sites from india) - most common usage of internet for indian/desi users - features most commonly used (for example, many indian sites such as fropper.com do well because of relationships/marriage. many other sites are popular as forum sites). I need to see the most common uses for internet among desi users; not just websites, but features too. for example, why are there so many indian users on orkut.com (it is the number 2 highest trafficked site in India), and on hi5, but not on myspace? - other general trends to summarize, i need the following information - demographics, internet usage of desis around the world - internet trends among desi users - most common uses for internet, where is most time spent (ie forums? pictures?) - most popular sites and among social networking sites, most popular features PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU ARE SERIOUS. I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO WASTE WITH FALSE BIDDERS. I will give further clarification to the winning provider and am happy to answer any questions; please remember that this information is very important and it should be done thoroughly, as it will used as the basis for launching/creating a networking site for desi users.
