Comments on: Another stupendous experiment http://www.rebelliousarabgirl.net/2008/05/21/another-stupendous-experiment/ Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:30:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: IRaggregator http://www.rebelliousarabgirl.net/2008/05/21/another-stupendous-experiment/comment-page-1/#comment-37488 IRaggregator Sun, 15 Jun 2008 13:34:31 +0000 http://www.rebelliousarabgirl.net/?p=1692#comment-37488 a couple of weeks ago i just started what you were describing, a pan-arab aggregator meant to eventually cover 22 nations. there is a home page which updates all the aggregated blogs, and then its broken down into countries. its not corporate like itoot or dwwen, so its completely unmoderated, which means you'll probably get blogger garbage every now and again,... but hey, democracy blah blah etc etc. and its only just hit me what i've let myself in for! but i'm forging ahead nevertheless. bloggersarabia.blogspot.com do have a look and let me know what you think. still in the process of populating the aggregator so it only lists a very small number to date. one question tho, for yourself and your fellow overseas arab bloggers,... would you want to be classed under your nation's category (ie palestine for you) or would you rather i run a parallel "arab bloggers overseas" type thing? and you've already been added to the home aggregator. cheers, IRaggregator. a couple of weeks ago i just started what you were describing, a pan-arab aggregator meant to eventually cover 22 nations.

one question tho, for yourself and your fellow overseas arab bloggers,… would you want to be classed under your nation’s category (ie palestine for you) or would you rather i run a parallel “arab bloggers overseas” type thing?

and you’ve already been added to the home aggregator.

I'm sure other don't as well. Maybe there is simply a disconnect between Western Arabs (us) and those Arab bloggers who haven't left (or weren't forced out). Perhaps you could cater to other Arabs who live in Canada and the States. There are quite a few of us. Well I am an Arab blogger and I certainly don’t hate your guts. I’m sure other don’t as well.

I find that Qwaider's one is very good and has many varied blogs but again it is quite Jordan-centric...though I don't think that is intentional as anyone can submit. It would be great to meet bloggers from lesser blogged from countries like Yemen or Libya or even the Maghreb (though I believe maghrebi bloggers mainly blog in French or Arabic). I think it would be kind of self-moderating in a sense- those that hate you wouldn't submit to you, no? 3la fikra..I really don't think Arab bloggers hate you as you say, I have never encountered any anti-mona posts/ comments in my travels around the blogsphere. You are too sensitive habibti :) I like the idea…it would be good to create another more high profile and democratic aggregator.

One that serves all 22 countries with all kinds of blogs and categories and everything in it. However, lots of Arab bloggers hate my guts and I don't want to cater to such people. I wouldn't have been selective of the blogs either. It would be based on rating of popularity and the community selecting what they like. Not me. I don't have the right to judge good blogs and enforce it on others. I am so democratic! However, democracy + Arabs does not always work. But I thought about having a community like that. Yet, do I want to maintain it? Is it worth my time? Having this blog and maintaining it and answering people is like a part time job. Sometimes full time. I donno. What do you guys think? I can make a community, or maybe just a rebellious forum.. but I dunno. It will be time consuming for me but doable. I thought about making an Arab community.

I guess it comes down to why you blog. Be careful though, they might be able to sue you for the graphic.
