Sheikh Muhammad Launches his Website in Arabic

[arabicidn]

Great news for IDN :eek:

The ruler of Dubai has made use of the establishment of non-Latin characters in domain names.

Dubai leader Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid has become the first Arab leader to take advantage of the introduction of non-Latin characters in the titles of web addresses, which became available earlier this month.

QUOTE- "However, influential Emirati blogger BuJ Al-Arab doubts this new change on the World Wide Web will have a profound effect. “Personally, I don't think the addition of Arabic domain names will make much difference for me,” BuJ Al-Arab told The Media Line.

“I prefer to keep the system as it is really. People prefer standardization rather than going off in many routes,” BuJ Al-Arab said. “English is the undisputed global language, so why steer away from the characters that are used in English.”

“Instead, an Arabic domain name might be the answer for Arabic proper-nouns that can only be translated phonetically or when a proper translation might not serve a business purpose,” BuJ Al-Arab said". UNQUOTE

Anyone knows the address?

Good news keep piling up for Arabic IDNs!

[arabicidn]

I agree with them if English language was a widespread language in the region, however less than 20 percent in the region can communicate in English... which means the only way to communicate is Arabic .....
BuJ Al-Arab's comment reminded me with a very famous QUOTE "end of the information age" the first time this term appeared was after the invention of telegraph..... now you can look back and laugh.. soon we will look back at BuJ Al-Arab's comment and laugh...

I personally am hoping/expecting that to happen. When someone who has registered here or will register in the future has access and the ability to market Arabic IDNs to end users then I expect them to make out nicely. kudos to them.

Building or Buildings? I could find neither one, I initially thought that maybe it was still under construction but the article ran in Jan 23 2009? Shouldn't a year and half should be enough time to build one of those babies?

So that is what a Harvard MBA taught them to invest in? Dubai Real Estate?

As I have previous stated, the place should be bulldozed. Harvard that is!

Kevin Ham is an Harvard Business School AMP graduate. AMP is a short-term open enrollment (you too can get in, no requirements or exams!) management program that costs $60K to attend and takes two months to complete. It is not an MBA.

I think the world would be better off right now if we'd rounded up all the global executives" 10 years ago and shot them.

That’s pretty much it. That $60K is the fastest way to official Harvard alumni status.
