Arab Bloggers Move to Jeeran

A revolution in the Arab Blogging world is under way with the rapid and surprising growth of Jeeran, the Arab web hosting community. The blog count is now at 13,000 and new bloggers are appearing every hour. New bloggers are not the only ones shifting towards the Arab blog community, but also seasoned bloggers are moving their blogs to the Arab site. Jeeran is the first site to offer the Arab public a blog site with international qualities, and the Arab audience is responding accordingly.

"Bloggers in general have been suffering from the slowness and lack of development of Blogger Com," says Laith Zraikat, Co-founder, and Director of Innovation of Jeeran. "Being a user-driven company and in response to the growing demand, we have developed a Migration Tool that allows the user to completely move his blog from Blogger Com along with archives and comments to a new home on Jeeran. The move also gives them their own domain name, something not matched by many of the blogging services, while benefiting from all the integrated services that we provide which enable professionals to thrive and excel with their blogs" he added. "Many of the Arab bloggers do not like to be classified under one category, 24% of the total choose to categorize their blogs under Personal" says Omar Koudsi, Co-founder and president of Jeeran. "This allows them to state their opinions in many issues including but not limited to politics and social issues.

Being the largest bloggers community in the Arab World, Jeeran can closely monitor topics presented and discussed in the Arab blogosphere. Initial expectations stated that majority of Arab bloggers would concentrate on politics, being inspired by the region`s current state, however, what Arab bloggers are showing goes against expectations. With its line of focused and integrated service offerings Jeeran proves that quality prevails over quantity when it comes to service offerings. Jeeran realizes that sophisticated users expect a service that is compatible with their advanced demands, at the same time is of global standards and presented to them in an easy format.
