toot is the sound you make to draw attention to yourself. toot is a fruit that consists of little particles that make up a whole. toots belongs to a tree. toots is sweet. toot toot comes in different colours. No, really, what is this site?
Wow, the launch date is here! We have been so excited and anticipative this past month for this day to finally come.
Toot came about as we witnessed something amazing stirring across Arabia and all around the world- a phenomenon known as blogging, whether it is sharing knowledge, pictures, opinions, or emotions. Intelligent, passionate, interesting, funny, knowledgeable and courageous people were starting to use the web to make their voices heard!
We became excited and decided to build a new medium in which intelligent voices from and for Arabia are brought together and presented to a wider community; where hungry readers and passionate writers can share and communicate without filtering.
In the past few years, blogs have turned into archives of human thought. Blogging is not passive news consumption- it is appealing because it is personal. Blogs are instilled with the temper of their writer, and this personal touch is much more in tune with our contemporary sensibility than was the dogmatic media of old.
All this represents something new: participatory media- fostering real connections based on trust, respect, and creativity. So, of course we are excited!
We help readers by providing fresh, great content. We help bloggers by presenting what they spend so much time doing to a larger and more diverse audience. But in order to provide great content, we need your help in selecting great content. Please take a minute to vote for the blogs you like.
Happy toot year!
