toot is growing with the winter frost
I’m very, very, very excited about the newest toot additions, and I feel really good about them. This week, toot has grown new branches of different colors and flavors that I am absolutely looking forward to enjoying!
Politically, we have several new Lebanese blogs that will give us interesting thoughts in these hard times, as well as the blogs of several young Palestinians with “different” perspectives.
Geographically, we also added more blogs from Arab countries that we thought were underrepresented in our toot tree so this time round, we have more Arab African blogs, and more Syrian blogs.
Culturally, and this is of course my favorite bit, we have expanded toot in a way I never thought possible. The amount of culture-centric blogs that have come up in the Arab world in the past year is just wonderful! In toot, we added several design blogs, several advertising blogs, a fashion blog, an Arabic art blog, and a caricature blog. How awesome is that?! Life is good.
Finally, we also have handfuls of very interesting blogs. Some of my personal favorites include Billa Faransia, The Arab Observer, and Z-District.
But these are just a few of the new toot blogs, for a complete list check out our post on toot. So exciting! My toot resolution for 2008 is to make toot more interesting and more active, so keep your eyes open for a hopefully tooteriffic 2008.

That’s exciting :) with the exponential growth of blogs I’m so glad we have you to pick out those interesting ones… my new year blog-related resolution is to read more new ones. Toot was getting a little skimpy on interesting content to be honest, so I think this new batch is much needed new blood!
Keep up the great work roobs!
