In the Pakistan Daily Times Onlinegroup is largest Muslim network Khalid Hasan reports on a Silicon Valley YASNS that claims to be the largestvirtual Muslim community on the Internet Naseeb (which means "destiny," wentonline last fall, and as of February, 2004 had more that 45,000 members.)
 
Back in February, 2004 Deborah Kong of the Associated Press also reported on Naseeb Searching for a soul mate. According to Kong, about84 percent of Naseeb's user base is in North America and the UK.
 
Naseeb is a YASNS with context and focus. In the Muslim culture it is important to share personal information within acommunity of trusted friends and not among countless strangers. Similar to Tickle, Naseeb also has quizzes but on themore serious question of religious compatibility.
 
Traditional Muslim customs + nascent online social networking service = happy marriage?
