To quote the good people at toot:
“We witnessed something amazing and decided to start this site! Across Arabia and all around the world, intelligent, passionate, interesting, funny, knowledgeable and courageous people are using the web to make their voices heard. It started with a few, then a few hundred. Now, thousands of them are taking to their keyboards and starting to write blogs, share their knowledge, pictures, opinions, emotions and life. This is big!”

This is real life.

The folks over at Toot obviously know what they're talking about!
Thanks gang!
We're in some very prestigious company on toot.
I've started to read through some of the other blogs like "Baghdad Burning" and "Living in Gaza City".
I found myself crying at some of the things that these people have to endure as part of their everyday lives.
It's very sobering - powerful stuff
Ooh, we here at toot are flattered! It's great having you abroad.
Thanks, Roba!
Keep up the great work!
Indeed powerful blog Living In Gaza City.. she's a fellow swede of mine.
Ah well Congra-toot-lations is in order...
ok...lame...very lame, I know..
Thanks Shaykhspeara Sha'ira for the congrats!
The post in Living in Gaza City that details Imaan, with her kids, getting out and back to Sweden via Cairo is compelling to read - you can just feel the concern and the fears - and then the relief to finally be safe again.
Yeah I was on edge reading that too... there are people out there who stare fear in the eye and yet go heads to heads with it. Others take a charter flight to mallorca...
