Digital Fiji recently made a post about the lack of local rugby online presence. You would be forgiven for thinking that the most popular sport in Fiji (save for marathon weekend grog drinking) would have heaps of local rugby unions with a strong online community, but so far only the Nabua Rugby Union has something going for them.

The thing is, this is a common fact across the board when it comes to the locals understanding the importance of having a website. Most major companies have websites, but most people are oblivious to its advantages. It would be nice to see websites on things such as local events eg. a Hibiscus festival website etc.

Local blogs are another story. Due to the relative ease of starting a blog, we are in no short supply for local blogging content. Heck this blog you’re reading is proof! Although lately, with all the fuss about political blogs getting the spotlight, non-controversy bloggists like us seem to be getting a slightly bad name.

Here’s hoping that common sense, a healthy dose of kava, and links to the Fiji Meats Man video will prevail.
