The location for Tweetup Riyadh March 2010

By Khaled A., on February 5th, 2010

The latest Tweetup Riyadh was held in Caribou Coffee in Riyadh. While the coffee was excellent the seating wasn’t the best. So if you have a suggestion for a meetup location then make sure to post a twitter reply to @tweetupriyadh with your suggestion.

Remember that the Tweetups are now held on the first Monday of each month instead of Thursday.

Twitter in a Saudi newspaper

By Khaled A., on May 14th, 2009

Twitter was mentioned in Wednesday’s issue of Alwatan newspaper in Saudi Arabia. The title was “Twitter and how it changes our life”.

It’s an interesting read for anyone who is not familiar with Twitter, please ignore some of the idiotic comments though.

Track your shipments using Twitter

By Khaled A., on February 28th, 2009

Tracking multiple shipments can be a pain. I usually use a Mac OS X Dashboard widget named Delivery Status. But I also found about an interesting method to track shipments using Twitter!

First of all you need a Twitter account. Follow @trackthis, it will auto follow you immediatly. While you are at it, follow us @sauditech to receive website updates. Then send a direct message to @trackthis in this format:

d trackthis 123456789123 New PC

Where the number is the UPS, Fedex, USPS, DHL, etc tracking number and the text after that is the label for that shipments. Now you will receive direct messages from @trackthis whenever there is a change in the delivery status. You can learn more about trackthis at their website. They also offer tracking using a Facebook application or though an e-mail message.
