Speak Out:

Don't suppress your feelings on an issue under the sun. Use our special interactive feature to vent them and post comments on any topic. Users are expected not to use unparliamentry language, abuses and invectives or insult others on the forum.

PakTribune creates new topics with brief history about them. Our editorial teams select comments and display them in public section for readers. The best phrases out of these comments are selected and put in Quotation boxes highlighting the punch line of each comment.

Each topic is open to public. Visitors can also start their own opinion poll if approved by the moderator of that forum.


Search Engine: We have developed our own local search engine giving our visitors an opportunity to instantly fetch the news or information of their choice from the archives. Our archives have the database of stored news since year 2001. We are the first Pakistani website, to have developed Pakistan's first Pictorial search engine.


Opinion Poll: Become part of the process to know if you form a majority or a minority.


PakTribune's Audience and Traffic:

We are living in a Global village, thanks to the Internet which provides every service with such a global coverage. However, every service should also have a target audience. PakTribune's audience comprise Pakistanis the world over, the international media activists, the news networks and all those interested in Pakistan's current affairs.

Launched for the first time to provide election coverage in October 2002, PakTribune got knocked over by 1.1 million hits in three days! PakTribune was the only website providing election results almost instantaneously through an automated database structure.

The unofficial results received through the network of our 600 reporters/correspondents all over Pakistan helped us announce results every five minutes. All announcements on our website are still available for customized search and report generation facility.

Ufone, Pakistan's famous GSM provider chose us to stream the results on their network.

Google News Resource and Moreover.com acknowledged PakTribune's service in laudatory terms.

In addition, we are providing news feed to several corporate websites through our News Ticker Service.

Still, we think we have a lot to achieve and miles to go before we become #1 news resource from Pakistan on the Internet. We expect to achieve this distinction, INSHALLAH, with your kind patronage and co-operation.
