So don’t worry folks, everyone is still active on twitter, it’s… Continue reading
Thank you @Azzi the information.

Ok, I am gonna flatter my ego and say that my post and rage (with foul language) helped pressuring Alfa Telecom to withdraw their new BB policy (200MB, every extra MB MIGHT be charged an extra 1$)
To everyone’s surprise, Alfa announced today that the Blackberry service is (back to) for 40USD with no additional charges (subject to F.U.P. 500MB).

Now, when Alfa Telecom (managed by Orascom) released their Blackberry service, they offered an unlimited local data plan and a F.U.P. of 500MB. the whole service at 44USD including V.A.T. so far so good.
But to everyone’s surprise, today they announced that the data plan is unlimited at 200MB and every extra 1MB might be charged 1USD. what the fuck?
unlimited? at… Continue reading

Edit: here’s the new logo taken directly from LBC International TV.
I should get over this and move on, but for some reason it gets on my nerves even more seeing an “international” television station blatantly ripping off a logo. And… Continue reading

Called them on the number listed, no answer, skype no… Continue reading
Taken from their website:
4SITE Forum is the first interactive conference in the Middle East to promote innovation and entrepreneurship towards sustainable economic development and social impact.
Now, if you are in the “online” business like some would call it and you didn’t hear about this, you are living in the dark ages. If you are a Lebanese online company and you didn’t hear about this, you… Continue reading

In a recent interview on satellite tv covering the Media and Marketing Show Dubai 2009, someone was complaining about the lack of Arabic content on the internet.
The complaints are coming from Arabic search engines folks (and I don’t mean Google, I am talking about local SE)
Now, I’ve been hearing this song forever, same tune, same excuse, “the Arabic content on the internet is poor”. whining whining… Continue reading
In a comment about yamli.com I was told that Ajnad.com is far superior and more accurate than Yamli.com
I thought it would be cool to compare both side to side, here’s what I got (click to enlarge)
I hate to say this, but this is a MAJOR fail. In the transliteration domain, Yamli is still king!… Continue reading
