A Lebanese Blog

Blogs I liked

I usually spend a good time everyday following the updates on the Lebanese blogsphere, and I lately came across two nice blogs.

The first is “Hummus nation“, a very funny blog acting as a national news agency from the Hummus nation and reporting daily news (and breaking news sometimes!) about various matter. The latest news reported the phoenix bird being accidentally shot by hunters using RPG’s at Dawra. T3isho.
I’d love to know more about the anonymous author of Hummus Nation, it would be nice if he/she posts an “About me” page. From the writing style I think he’s a man who has gone through the Lebanese Civil war, probably in his mid or late thirties. And the first letter of his name is … oh well khalas.

The second is “Maya’s Amalgam“, authored by Maya Zankoul (not Zakkour!!). It’s just like any other peronal blog, except that Maya is using illustrations to deliver her opinions, messages and daily observations, a bit similar to what Mireille does at Life Geeked.
I have gone over several posts on her blog, and so far all her stories are short, amusing, and interesting. Matches my reading requirements at work!

    would be great 🙂
    what do u say we setup some stuff like a lebanese blogger aggregator
    where lebanese can submit their blogs to make it more public…and we can have a blogs of note section
    and post of the day/week based on readers vote 😛

    and you can always link it to the facebook group you already created 😛

    of course that needs some time that no one has… and i didn’t check if anything like this exists 😛

    There’s already a Lebanese blogger aggregator (your posts are there too so I assume you know it?); news.beiruter.com.

    Why invent the wheel twice?

    I am following the beiruter website, it’s a great website.
    However, I am trying to create a larger directory where I can group blogs by categories, you can call it re-inventing the wheel, but there’s nothing wrong with some competition 😉
