Ghajnsielem.com turns five!
(Sunday, 1st July
2007)
 

The idea of having a website dedicated solely to our village started on March 2002 when Joseph Sultana, Kevin Cauchi and Anthony Scicluna decided to launch Ghajnsielem.com. The aim was to keep the emigrants and local citizens up-to-date with what's happening in our village. Ghajnsielem.com was born three months later (1st July 2002).

Ghajnsielem.com was proudly the first website in Gozo to transmit an event live on the internet. In fact it was only two months after its launch that Ghajnsielem.com transmitted the Feast of Our Lady of Loreto live on the Internet. A short video sequence of Our Lady of Loreto on her way back to the church as seen by our live webcam is still available in the Feast section. On December 2002 Ghajnsielem.com had three webcams transmitting live video images from the Christmas Village and the same number of webcams were available for 2004's feast.

Another milestone for Ghajnsielem.com was reached when Loreto and Joseph Scicluna launched the Ghajnsielem F.C. section. This website  provides daily news update, match analysis, video highlights, statistics and detailed information about the club's illustrious history.

Following the suggestions of our visitors, on April 2007, Ghajnsielem.com announced the introduction of an online Chat service. The Chat Room was called "Il-Pjazza" and the aim is to make this service a virtual meeting place for all the Ghajnsilmizi who are living both locally and abroad. Ghajnsielem.com is working on a new biography section dedicated solely to those people who contributed to the development of our village.

As usual the three favourites sections by our visitors during the last 12 months were the Ghajnsielem Football Club news section, the guestbook and the news archive section.
 


 




The first presence of Ghajnsielem on the Internet started  back in 1999 when
Kevin Cauchi launched his own personal website dedicated to Ghajnsielem
It was hosted on Gozo.com (http://www.gozo.com/ghajnsielem).
The site was closed two years later (2001).




The Ghajnsielem Parish's presence on the Internet started in mid-2000
when Gozodirect offered to dedicated a section from its Gozo Portal Website to Ghajnsielem. The site was regularly updated by Joseph Sultana.
(http://www.gozodirect.com/parish/ghajnsielem/).
The site is still online although it was never updated
since Ghajnsielem.com was launched.
