\nThe purpose of this post is two-fold: 1) To share my keynote presentation about blogging strategy, 2) Help connect the Arabic bloggers with my Western business readers and community.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m in amazing Doha, in the nation of Qatar<\/a>, who\u2019s sponsored my travel to speak at the ictQATAR and my friends at ForumOne event about blogging<\/a>.\u00a0 Qatar wants to reach out and connect with the world, I\u2019m excited to be one of those who can help bridge.<\/p>\n

Blogging conferences in the US were popular a few years ago –and have given way to Facebook conferences, and now Twitter or last week’s “Real Time” focus at LeWeb. The Middle East has been evolving quickly in the blogosphere, and this is a real focus for individuals, organizations, institutions, and governments to connect with others, and let their voice to be heard.m Embedded above, you\u2019ll find my presentation, which has international examples of bloggers.\u00a0 It has a section with data (sourced cited) and then I talk about where I see blogging headed into the next era. The purpose of this event is to educate local bloggers on how to most effectively use blogging tools to connect and reach to the outside world, so I’ll give a hand, and try to connect the community right here on this blog.<\/p>\n

Arabic Bloggers, Kindly Leave A Comment<\/strong>
\nIn the spirit of community, in this case, global community, at the end of my keynote, I\u2019m suggesting that the attendees leave a comment on this post, to shout out to the world, leave a URL, and a few sentences on what they focus on.<\/p>\n

Web Strategy Community, Please Welcome Them<\/strong>
\nMy hope is that these Arabic bloggers will not only connect with each other, but also connect with my readers in the business world.\u00a0 If you\u2019re a regular reader of the Web Strategy blog \u2013please welcome them, surf their blogs, and share about yourself if you\u2019ve similar interests.\u00a0 We recently installed Disqus so we have threaded conversations \u2013making it easier to keep track of multiple discussions.\u00a0\u00a0 Be sure to return to this post in the future, in order to see how the conversation developers over time.<\/p>\n

To me, success for this project is to see at least two people connecting with each other in which they can develop a meaningful relationship for understanding, business, or friendship. \u00a0 Blogs, a simple technology, that can bridge people around the world.<\/p>\n

Update: It’s a few hours after the conference, and I’ve had time to reflect, and connect with other bloggers that attended. I’m told this was the first time bloggers were able to get together in Qatar, and some met for the very first time face to face. It was an privilege to be part of this historical event, which was organized and sponsored by ictQatar, ForumOne, and the many bloggers who attended. Really an honor, I hope to return in the coming months, this is one of the highlights in my career, and a milestone for the social web. Also, do see their latest blog, which was launched at the event, both in Arabic<\/a> and English<\/a>. The Gulf Times featured the event on the front page (pic)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
