Oman: Twitter Meet Up · Global Voices
Riyadh Al Balushi

Oman had its first Twitter gathering last night at Al Masa Mall. The main organizer of the event was blogger Sangeetha at Digital Oman who coordinated the process and planned the program. More than 25 users of Twitter attended, including male and female, locals and expats. A raffle was held at the beginning of the event and goodie bags  were awarded to the attendees.
Blogger [R] at Dear Raed posted about the event saying:
overall 3ashra 3alla 3ashra (10/10)… next time i think it needs to be less formal and more relaxed so people can get a chance to talk more and get to know each other .. this can become a start to what can eventually become an official Omani On-Line community.. or maybe not ..
Blogger Muawiyah described the event in Arabic:
On Twitter, Maithams tweeted that he expects to feel more comfortable using Twitter now that he knows the identity of other people online.
