Discover how Twitter is being used in Middle East

I got this email from Mideast Youth as I subscribed to their newsletter, I knew about their very nice new service Mideast Tweets that depends on Twitter. It’s a cool map that show you real time twits from the Middle East. I like the way it works.

I have published a post to discover how Twitter is being used on my personal blog, but thought it will be good to shout it here. as I get a thank you twit from Mideast Youth on Twitter and they told me that they are  working hard on improving it, and hope to release new features next week, so comeback and check it latter, and plz Read and enjoy Tweets from the Middle East.

Twitter is a great tool that allows us to communicate in ways that we never did before. The best part about Twitter is how fast we can be aware of new projects, incidents, or even opinions before they are picked up anywhere else. Mideast Tweets helps us discover how Twitter is being used in the Middle East and North Africa, and what is being discussed in this region.

It has several functionality and we hope to introduce many more over the next few weeks. Currently, you can conduct a search by country, and choose to see tweets in the form of a list by clicking on “See All” at the bottom of each pop-up.

Mideast Tweets started out being a project for the personal use of Mideast Youth members to keep up with what was being said in the Twittersphere, since we were intrigued by how and where others in the region are using it, but we collectively found it difficult for us to discover new regional Twitter users, hence this project. We liked it so much that we decided to improve it and make it available to the public.

The results are imperfect, due to the many imperfections of the Twitter service itself, but most of the tweets are legitimate. Please be aware that we are still in BETA mode and improvements will continue.

Suggestions for improvement are always welcome. Volunteer developers who can help build upon this are even more welcome! We hope that you will find this useful and to your enjoyment. Please spread the word.

Enjoy the Tweets from the Middle East :)
