d1g, the leading Arabic Web 2.0 social network, has recently acquired seenandjeem.com, the first Arabic Questions and Answers portal in the region, to expand d1g’s user base and content as well as its technical, creative, and editorial teams. This venture follows a series of strategic acquisitions made by d1g over the past quarter to boost its position as the leading Web 2.0 portal for the Arab world.
d1g has introduced its Arabic online Questions and Answers service, dubbed as QnA, in November 2006 to leverage the current shortage in Arabic online content and the gap in reliable Arabic search technology. The QnA service enables Arabic online users to exchange information, experiences, opinions, cultures, science, art and more in their native language.
QnA is one of d1g’s most popular services, as more than 15,000 questions and 50,000 answers have been published since the segment was launched in November 2006. With more than 40,000 registered users and 9 million page views in the first two months of 2007, d1g is the fastest growing Arabic portal in the region.
Commenting on the acquisition, Majied Qasem, CEO of d1g, stated, “The Questions and Answers segment is helping d1g become an Arabic online source for information, where people can seek advice and information from those with similar cultural backgrounds. By acquiring Seenandjeem.com, our team has gained an effective, creative, fun and dynamic team who strive to continue reaching our common vision of connecting Arab Internet users. The online industry is quickly evolving and d1g is helping change the face of the Arabic Internet.”
Commenting on the question and answer service Tarek Ojjeh, Seenandjeem.com owner, stated, "Being born in a 3rd world country does not mean that we don't think well; Change the way you think and you can change your world. That is why we aim to provide Arab communities an equal opportunity to share knowledge and experiences. With d1g, we are working as a unit to achieve this objective."
