Can we suggest updating facebook status in bangla through a toolbar on mozilla startup. The opportunity could be built for Bangladeshi browsers only as Opera has already co-branded with Grameenphone, the largest telecom in the country. if we can integrate www.aawaj.com on the mozilla startup, we might just get new consumers in the category.
FYI, aawaj.com is the only mobile platform that supports writing bangla on mobile.
