    II am so please to see your blog among of the best blog in Jordan . I hope that will encourage you to work hard and post taboo topics such as religion, politics……You should have studied the medias not art.

  • Wasim

    Mabrooooooooooooooooooooooook

    Your blog really deserves it, and I think they got the right description for it, a place where you can find interesting and odd things about Jordan and I think they should have added cool events log in Jordan. I think your blog is affected of what you have studied for the past 4 years (It is a piece of Art)

    Keep it up Roba, and start thinking of new things to add to you blog. It is not hard to reach the top but the hard part is how to maintain it, I feel like a nurde when I am saying this, hehehe.

  • Not Fair

    How come Qweider’s blog (or at least his other 3-4 alter ego blogs) are not listed ?!
    What a huge unjustice!

  • rami

    sha3teely.com should be there……this man is original.

  • http://www.kinziblogs.wordpress.com kinzi

    Yea, I would have made sure Hala K and Sha3teely were included, some of those listed don’t post very often.

    “Qwaider’s alter-ego blogs?” Am I missing something?

  • http://www.omernos.com/blog omar

    hehe, no probs Roba
    thanks :)

    mabrook again

  • http://thearabobserver.blogspot.com/ The Observer

    Congratulations Roba, you deserve it :)

    Mabrooooook Roba. When I was asked about the most important female blogger in Jordan I answered without hesitation. It’s Roba. Many were surprised of my answer since it wasn’t Roba’s fan club gathering. But I stand firm by that. It’s not that I think there are no other fantastic lady bloggers that deal in Jordan. It’s just that Roba’s “culture” is what is what people like or appreciate. It doesn’t matter if she wrote a word, a single line a picture or a 3000 word essay

    There are many worthy of mentioning, like Natasha, khalidah, maioush, hal, Tamara, Mala2e6, kinzi, Amal (forgive me if I didn’t mention the whole list of fantastic lady bloggers out there)
    3 out of 10 is not bad. But I believe the ratio should be 6 to 4 as I see more worthy reads in lady’s blogs than most guys

    Anyway, congratulations again.

    Mabrouk! That’s great news! It’s nice to see how magazines now write more about bloggers! Although I still believe that Abu Shreek and Khalaf really deserve mentions for their well written and extra cynical blogs. Great job!

  • http://andfaraway.net Roba

    Thanks everyone! I myself agree that I would have liked to see some other bloggers on the list, such as The Arab Observer, but otherwise, the list is pretty cool.

    Pheras, zaman 3an Abu Shreek! I think anyone who stopped reading blogs post JP-death has no idea about that blog, which sucks.
