Lots of stuff seems to have happened in the blogosphere while I was taking a break. Via Roba, whom I met in London, and Lina, I discovered that there's a new aggregate blog called Toot*, which highlights what (mostly) young people are saying around the Arab world.

The slogan is, "We find the freshest voices across Arabia and around the world."

So to the many (many!) people who have sent me emails asking for more information about the Arab blogosphere (since when am I an expert?), here it is: your one stop shopping destination. So far I found a very smart young guy from Riyadh, someone in Damascus and a feminist from Dubai. But there's lots more - I just forced myself to stop surfing and actually possibly get some work done.

Toot should keep you busy stealing lots and lots of work hours from your corporate employer - or missing deadlines.

G'head, check it out.
