In this article I will talk about the thinking global role in making web innovations and startups in Palestine.
Young People
Well, six years ago, Facebook published as a social web site for Harvard students. The Creator of Facebook, Mark Zucherburg, was only 20 years old. Years later he made Facebook a world wide social community with millions of users. Nowadays, Mark is rated as the richest guy in the world. Yes, all because Facebook.
Status
Let’s back to Palestine, Palestine is witnessing the rapidly rise in the field of technology. All noticed the changes in the daily lives of citizens, we all use iPhones to explore the Internet on the roads, yes, also we have 3G technology. And no books any more, Amazon Kindle is available for using, and everybody use it. The Internet connection available in 50Mb/s lately. Yes Yes Yes it all Lies.
Honestly, Palestine got the worst. No 3G technology. The Internet Connection is available only up to 2Mb/s –and everybody has limited quota for his monthly download. This is only about how people connect the WWW. And that is a tip of the iceberg.
Don’t wonder, begin with yourself.
Could we find a guy like Mark in this land. Maybe. Why maybe? say “Yes”, say I know somebody, say: “Me”. If your answer is “No”, then ask again Why no? say “Yes”, say I know somebody, say: “Me”.
YES WE CAN
Martin Luther King had a dream and Obama said Yes We Can, and we all saw how the black people of the US switched from being slaves to be presidents and billionaires.
The Problem
It’s itself complicated. Specialists needed to list the problem(s) in the points.
The Solution
The solution in my opinion, is to think global -see the needs of the world, not even the area you live in, apply it, share it and I promise you’ll success.
Thinking locally destroys me. Give me an exact number of people who will use your own social community. Nobody will leave Facebook or Twitter to interacts with such social network that its visitor won’t hit 1000 people.
Let’s take Peeks as an example, Peeks means Palestinian Geeks. Well its great idea, but not great as it applied now. Peeks uses NING as a ready to use social network -not so nerdy. Okay, first time I saw this “geeks” website, I got exited, I signed up, and played around, but naaahhh, I have months with no one login record, why? Ask Peeks Owners.
Another funny example is the Open Advertisements Websites. Let’s count how many website specialized with such things.
- - Safqa Online
- - Sho Biddak
- - Daleel
- - E-daleelak
- - Bedkash
- - And much more…
So do you think people like things like that, they get enough of one at least, so don’t think of a new website with same idea.
More to talk about…
Conclusion
Think Global, not local. Pick a talent team. Have no limits. Go over sky.
