HOW IT WORKS:
NEW SERVICES:
In January 1998, NetComm started by launching enhancements to the service adding
the Middle East
PeopleDetective
, an online e-mail and telephone directory.
THE COMMITMENT:
Web sites we created
include the Government of Dubai, Department of Tourism and Commerce and
MAFTelecom.
By the end of 1997, the growth was phenomenal, Middle Eastern
web sites were now as common as 4 wheel-drive jeeps in Dubai!
With the growing number of Middle Eastern sites scattered throughout
the web, we have dedicated professionals searching for relevant information
on each country to ensure that the Middle East Pages offers visitors the
most comprehensive information regarding the Middle East.
Thank you everyone for your comments
and feedback. We have based a lot of the new services on your comments,
so 1998 should be as exciting for you as it will be for us, providing you with
everything you have always wanted at your fingertips !
If you have any criticism or queries regarding the service, please
contact us,
we want to remain the most helpful and informative business directory in the Middle East with your
assistance.
With a page design similar to that of Yahoo's, you will easily find your way
around the Middle East Pages Web site. Search throughout the site for
specific information, or browse information by categories, which include
business and economy, government, reference, news, regional, and society
and culture. Follow the links to Compass Middle East News, the Khaleej
Times Newspaper, or Gulf News for current information on business,
politics, and more. Reference information at the site includes maps, libraries,
and Middle Eastern search engines. And learn about cities like Dubai,
Amman, Beirut, Muscat and Cairo. Government information includes
information on housing, women's organizations, and social services as well.
In January 1998, approximately
100,000 people visited the Middle East Pages,
adding to our loyal base of growing Middle East Pages directory users.
CNN Online regularly
highlights ( via hyperlinks) The Middle East Pages to complement
articles regarding the Middle East.
The Middle East Pages is specifically for Middle Eastern web sites or web
sites with affliations
to the Middle East. New web sites are added instantly to the chosen
section and web publishers are automatically given a password to
edit/update their entry when required. The design of the software ensures
that the directory is self-running, however, NetComm does employ full-time
editors to delete unsuitable sites,
strip irrelevant data from the searches, keep the directory
up-to-date and answer queries.
1998 will be an exciting time for the Middle East Pages, there are many
plans including creating directories for Israel, Palestine, Yemen and Syria, plus
adding more and more services for our visitors throughout the
year. The Middle East Pages are a central point where visitors can either
acquire or be directed to find a range of information regarding the Middle
East.
When we built the directory,in 1996,
It soon became evident that web sites for the Middle East were far
and few between. So we began a process of educating via seminars,
exhibitions and conferences, bussinessmen in the Middle East, the history,
differences between web sites, email, intranets, extranets and the cost-effective
uses of the Internet.
