Editor's Notes
Here’s a chart showing the increase in Facebook usage in the past year!
Reason.. Most researches believe it was a direct reaction to the Arab Spring… there could be some deeper explanation… but what’s certain is that we are witnessing a boom!
Saudi and Kuwait have the second and third most active number of users on Twitter after Turkey and before Egypt and UAE users number is almost equal to that of Egypt. Saudi’s make up 40% of twitter users in the Arab region 2.1 million. (June 2012)What’s noteworthy is Kuwait’s number. Given its population, 2.6 million, 14% of Kuwaitis use Twitter making them the most conversational in the region. The Arab Social Media report analyzed tweets in March 2012 and found that the estimated number of daily tweets is 5,750,386 and the most popular trending hash tags across the Arab region were #bahrainسوريا (Arabic for Syria)بحرين (Arabic for Bahrain) #syria and #egypt and #kuwait Arabic is the fastest growing language in Twitter history.
Even if your not on social media people are still going to be talking about you and your brand. It’s great if you can be online, engaging with your audience to establish more online business relationships and spreading the word further.
