Arabic Email celebrates 100,000 users

Many people that believe that email will be mainly used in English, are rethinking their assumption. Despite being a new service, Maktoob, an Arabic email service on the Internet has just announced that their members have reached 100,000 and that new subscriptions continue to grow exponentially on a daily basis.

The site which can be visited at http://www.maktoob.com is a landmark in the Internet field in the Arab world and its benefits include being able to register your own free and private email account, checking it from anywhere in the world.

Maktoob continues to attract thousands of Arabic users from all over the world. The ability to send and receive Arabic email even with an English operating system is a new breakthrough. Maktoob is a bilingual service allowing the customer to use either an Arabic or an English interface while communicating through email. Furthermore Maktoob offers other interactive services such as electronic cards, business directories and voting on interesting topics.

“The numbers and interest we are seeing for Arabic email has caught us all by surprise. The Arabic language is an important and rich language and people need it for their personal and business communications. Maktoob is only a tool that allows people to use their own language electronically” ,said Mr. Samih Toukan, Managing Partner, Business Optimization Consultants (B.O.C.).

“Although our main goal would be to attract more members and to refine our technology, we will be offering many new services to the Maktoob community such as faxing, e-commerce, translation and many other features.”, added Mr. Samih Toukan.

Maktoob was developed by Business Optimization Consultants. B.O.C. is a leading regional Internet/Intranet solution provider.
