Welcome back to Tonga-now
Tonga-Now to continue - Minister of Finance
5/07/2007 10:42:11 a.m.
Responding to the overwhelming reaction to the announcement of the closure of Tonga-Now, the Hon. Minister of Finance, Siosiua T.T. 'Utoikamanu, has reviewed his decision to allow Tonga-Now to continue to operate. The Minister has received extensive support messages and responses from Tongans and concerned individuals from both here and abroad for the need to keep the Tonga-Now website because it is a major source of information about the Kingdom. The Minister has also instructed that it shall report in a non-biased and professional manner and to keep informing readers about the latest events in Tonga, particularly on economic and revenue reforms and related issues
It was a nice little bit of local drama, that further gave credence to Kele'a's current edition which accused there having been conflicts between the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance. Seeing as how there is so much incredible articles in the Kele'a and their online partner TongaStar, it is hard to give them credit, but Tonga-Now.to being scheduled for closure sure put a lot of interest into the Kele'a's print.
Welcome back Tonga-Now.to, even if you hadn't left the building (anyone seen Elvis?)
I really think Tonga-Now is doing great service for the Government and People of Tonga. Keep up the high standard of reporting and give us enough information so we can make up our own minds about what is going on.
On a techno dweeb note: If you still browse directly to Tonga-Now.to (and other websites) instead of using an RSS Aggregator, then read this article:
Not Using an RSS Reader? You Ignorant Time-Waster!
It's all about saving you time as you adventure, time-waste, on the Internet.
So, I hope the title of this article gets your attention long enough for me to convince you that you could save lots of time and become better informed with the help of a simple RSS feed reader. If you are still fuzzy on what RSS is and how it can benefit you, I’ve included a great little video that will help to clear that up.
You would like to save time and be better informed wouldn’t you???
The RSS Feed at www.tonga-now.to had been broken for a very long time, which led me to a sub-optimal solution using a Googled RSS Link, but just verifying now, their RSS feed is working better: Tonga-Now - Latest News (RSS)
The Googled RSS Link correctly places article titles and summary text into the feed, and now some of the Tonga-Now - Latest News (RSS) also provides a title with a summary, although some articles still get titles only. Use both.
