Maktoob News to offer BBC content
June 29th, 2006 Zeid Nasser (Admin)
Maktoob’s newly launched news section has received a boost by partnering with BBC News to deliver comprehensive Arabic news stories to the Arab World’s biggest portal.
Maktoob provided a news section for many years, but it has now undergone a ‘face-lift’ and is much more prominently featured on the home page. Plus is has a ‘Web 2.0′ character, thanks to the RSS feeds that have been added.
The press release on this agreement, however, does not clearly state whether BBC News will be added to the now existing AFP news, or will be replacing it.
Maybe someone from Maktoob.com can assist us with an answer?

Thanks Zeid for the mention.
Yes, we are offering BBC newsfeeds along with AFP (and others). Our goal is to offer our readers as many sources as possible. More things to come!

Thanks for the response Ahmad. It clarifies the question in the post.
It’s nice to see someone from Maktoob stepping in and doing that on AdBlogArabia
Wishing you the best of luck in serving Arab users with Maktoob’s innovative services.
