forget cybercafes you SS folks. I had worked on a project for Tata Telecom for my BBA on interner habits in metro cities. My research showed that "90%" of people who come to public cybercafes belong to:
1. Cybercafes are used by people to male low cost telephone calls to friends, family etc; etc;
2. Unemployed youth who can not afford a personal computer at home to search for jobs
3. Kids and youngsters to visit gambling and porno sites on the sly

The remaining 10% do stuff like checking marks, results, booking train tickets etc;

I think the SS is a bunch of unemployed, sick fools who have nothing much to do in life anyway and need these types of periodic excitement to let others know that they are around. Ignore them folks and thanks for letting me know about the hate site for the Shivaji and Balls Thakaray. I have visited orkut and added my own two bits on them.

Which college did you for your BBA because your research sounds bullshit. Or did you just made up your research results ?
Your research is obviously wroing because every one knows that majority of the people visit cyber cafe to watch porn, chat, or to orkut.

I did my research without any religious angle to it. it was done 11 months back in cities of mumbai, pune, nasik and baroda.
i hope you realise that at that time there was no orkut vs Shivaji issue, so no reason for me to make up any result to suit orkut or shivaji.

Your research is quite ok. Everywhere it's same condition..little better or worse.

Obviously your research was biased because no one agrees that they visit cyber cafes to watch porn or to do chatting.
What was your sample size on which you based your finding ?
