Social media in Saudi Arabia — for women!
14 March 2008 in Internet, Notes, Politics by Stilgherrian | 2 comments
Social media’s pink-toned guru, as I called her, Laurel Papworth is currently in Saudi Arabia helping launch an online social network for Arab women. And she’s nervous. Her first post from Jeddah is fascinating. “No matter how naive I may be in some things, no waaaaaay can I pretend this community is just another oh, dating site, or tv show, social network. It’s a game changer, a rule breaker. Newsflash: social media is disruptive!”

Actually, I’m waiting for my tickets to materialise (they mysteriously got cancelled). But if I’m not on my way tonight, I will be tomorrow.
In the meantime, tag, you are it! Laurel

@Laurel Papworth: Well good luck with the Saudi trip. And now, being tagged, I know what I’ll be writing about this morning… stand by.
