I was always inspired by the Success Story of Maktoob.com, the idea that was started by 2 ambitious persons who wanted to create an email for every Arab, and they did!

Maktoob rapidly grew and served lots and lots of individuals across the arab world, and was ranked among the international #1 websites from the Middle East & Pan Arab Market Share;

Recently Maktoob.com was acquired by Yahoo!   and a legend was now REBORN!

on the 29th of November 2010, the Yahoo! Developer Network, held it’s FIRST event in the Middle East right from the home Country of Maktoob.com in “a Morning with the YDN in Jordan”.

130 Developers attended the half day event and lots of Momentum was created; although the Brand Yahoo! was fairly new to the Developers Community of Jordan, but the Pride of the Success of Maktoob was certainly JORDANIAN.. and with  mixed feelings the Community welcomed the YDN , interacted with its representatives and learned more about the technology that powered Yahoo.com

I had the chance to be among the Co-Organizers of the event and loved it all the way…

Enjoy the Video and See you soon!
