Tibetan Struggle and Cyberspace

Tibet.net is an official website of Tibetan Government in Exile based in Dharamsala, India. There has been a significant change in Tibetan Polity with the devolution of Political power by Dalai lama and subsequent popular election of New Kalon Tripa ( Prime Minister equivalent). Tibet.net is the reliable source for all information and news related to Tibetan Administration and Tibet. However, there is substantive delay in updating news and information based on the currency of the news. If you visit the website and browse the section that says "Whos Who", it still shows name of the previous Kashag. It is very important that who ever is responsible for updating information in the website needs to be more proactive.
Internet is a good source to disseminate information cheaply provided information are regularly updated, otherwise it will not serve its purpose of providing information and current news.
