Like so many online initiatives here, it's really third rate. The English is all over the place, the typos are horrific ("passwrod" anyone?). The legalese is a jumbled mess. The registration process is completely fked up. The content is bizarre, and nearly everything is in Arabic (fair enough - but have clearly defined Arabic and English zones).<BR/><BR/>For example: I signed my mobile number in to test it. I got a message from "Accessories"(?) with an "activation code". Where am I supposed to put this code, having navigated away from the page by the time I got it? When I go back there is no option to enter it, and when I click on Mobile: Follow up it just says "this mobile is already registered".<BR/><BR/>It's just yet another sad example of this part of the world being crappy, and thinking that's somehow good enough. It's not. This service needs a massive revamp and overhaul from its very launch day.<BR/><BR/>And I just wonder how many millions (of OUR money spent on overpriced phone calls and internet "services") they squandered on this?secretdubaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115610824191031176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-1158177663044354132006-09-14T00:01:00.000+04:002006-09-14T00:01:00.000+04:00"UAE's first virtual community" - they must have a..."UAE's first virtual community" - they must have a very strange view of the world if they think they are the first virtual community in the UAE?
