Maktoob ‘does a Yahoo’ and more
June 5th, 2006 Zeid Nasser (Admin)
Maktoob.com’s new home page is online and it has the look and feel of an international portal.
In fact, it provides similar functionality and user-friendliness to Yahoo’s home page, but adding in a Web 2.0 touch with featured Arab bloggers. News is also more prominent.
It makes the Maktoob transformation complete, from a site that started out as a mailbox service to a full-fledged community with comprehensive services, now boasting over 4,600,000 users.
A technicaly neat feature is a ‘consol’ on the home page that automatically logs into your mailbox and alerts you to new messages. You can, of course, log-out and hide that information.
All in all, a welcome change.
Check it out.
