Missing some videos, photos, and communities? Well, you gott’em all back. Etisalat unblocked Youtube, MySpace, and Flickr. As part of fighting the “evil Etisalat” campaign ran by individuals and end-users. Etisalat finally gives some love back to all. So enjoy it.
Etisalat was very fast developing an image of a blocking monster that takes away all the joy on the internet. Some campaigns are still running against Etisalat with badges on photobucket. Many blogs use the badges to show their angre. With all the spendings on ads and the new Weyak portal Etisalat is buying its image back. Good for us end-users!
This could be either a startegic marketing action to face DU’s supportive face or a plain simple authorities freedom change. In all the cases, users win.
The impact on the interactive and online market
Being exposed to such social/2nd life services engages internet users more and more with the new media which leads to developing web-savvy users– better users and more bandwidth consumtion. On the tech side of the story the region could use the advancements in their advertising market place with portals such as MySpace with billions of page impressions daily. The ME region would benefit more and more with the mashups and web services that could be hooked up with such services.
So, back to normal life. Reach.

Indeed back to normal life. Things have so totally changed that some sites were blocked for no good solid reason, in my opinion anyway. Just one sincerely obvious but had-to-be-asked question: Is this temporary or for good?
