In Vietnam, US relies on pirate site to network

http://t.co/7G65bx1Z  (NBC News)

    "Washington is a vocal proponent of intellectual property rights in
     Vietnam as it is around the world, and a site like Zing would be shut
     down in the United States. But with space with for public diplomacy
     limited in Communist Vietnam, the embassy's uses its "Zingme" account
     to reach out to young people in Vietnam as it seeks to build closer
     ties with its former enemy."
