All of a sudden, my Twitter timeline was bombarded with the #Top50Eg hashtag [1]. This hashtag is used by Egyptian tweeps to refer to many Egyptian habits and customs. There are rumors that the whole thing started when Queen Rania of Jordan [2], aka the Royal tweep, endorsed the #Top50Jo [3] hashtag, and now Egyptian tweeps are adopting it for Egypt.
Ibrahim Abdel Fattah wrote a blog post here [4] about that hashtag saying:
There is really a great topic trending on Twitter which really has some extra cool quotes about things you might hear, see or feel in Egypt :D, check it from here [5].
Here are some of the interesting tweets:
