When you flip the pages of your morning paper and two consecutive ads have the infinity symbol in them, you start suspecting that there’s a trend.
The first ad is for the Jordanian mobile company Xpress, promoting the flat rate billing. The other one is for the Arab German Insurance company promoting ten years of service and the features of their car insurance services.
In a world abundant with consumer choices is infinity the next frontier 
Let’s see: there is Infiniti, the luxury car brand from Honda. There is Limitless, the real estate development in Dubai. And there’s all you can eat buffets..
What else is infinity these days?
I hope this post get an infinite number of comments!

DriveArabia.com claim unprecedented growth, with visitor numbers tripling since last summer. The growth in traffic is being attributed mostly to word-of-mouth and search engines, with most new visitors coming from the UAE and surrounding countries.
