Yeah? I always thought there were hardly any start-ups in these countries. Can you name some?

    Impressive how it does the harakat as well. patrickas, unless you want to alienate friends and disenchant people, please don't use a national flag to stand for a language. It irks me when I see the British/American flag used to mean "English Language"; just yesterday we were talking about a site that used the Saudi flag to mean "Arabic language". Either use the letter `Ain ع. Or if you need a flag to fit in with the rest of your icon set, use the flag of the Jami`a alarabia: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2b/Flag_of_the_Arab_League.svg/800px-Flag_of_the_Arab_League.svg.png http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2b/Fla... Good luck, you have a "cool", darling of the media competitor :-(

      Thanks for the feedback! The flag is a bug not a feature! It was supposed to display the flag of the country the user is connecting form but I messed up the geolocation api and forgot to remove it :-) It is gone now. (actually replaced by a white image until I have time to work on geolocation again). Having a "cool", darling of the media competitor is not so bad actually keeps me from getting too lazy.

  There is watwet.com (a twitter clone) which apparently has more users in this region than twitter. Then as mahmud mentioned, souq.com and cashu both from maktoob group (not part of this yahoo acquisition). As I said I am quite new here and quite out of personal touch in the tech scene here, so I am myself looking out for people to connect with. You can follow <a href="http://www.arabcrunch.com>arabcrunch.com</a&#62 http://www.arabcrunch.com>arabcrunch.com</a> for more startups from this region. This deal is also heavily covered there.

  Define "start-up".
