A lot of sites are claiming that Twitter is blocking #flotilla from the Twitter trends. But let’s be honest, “Flotilla” is a dictionary word and my guess is that the Twitter trends algorithm avoids “dictionary words”. Instead #freedomflotilla should be used. It’s a composite and as you noticed it’s already the first on Twitter trends after less than 3000 messages:
“Gaza Flotilla” also trended. that proves that Twitter did not block “Flotilla”. We love conspiracy theories, don’t we? #onlyinsaudi is a twitter hashtag for tracking everyone’s observations of us Saudis I will try to post them here at www.khaled.us/tag/onlyinsaudi. Disclaimer: the info posted with #onlyinsaudi may be not 100% accurate or exclusive to Saudi Arabia. This is supposed to be fun. Ya hear me? FUN. Don’t take it seriously. Please! 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. Register for the tweetup here which will be held Thursday November 5th at Second Cup Coffee Shop at Tahliah street in Riyadh. Quick FYI: I have given the @saudigamer Twitter account to @dubayan who currently have SaudiGamer.com podcast. Saudigamer.me will still take you to this section of my site. Remember to register for the second Riyadh Tweetup next month. 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:
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. |

This is my Twitter FollowFriday list. I will keep it updated and use it instead of using multiple tweets! You can follow me of course @khaled. Don’t know what’s FollowFriday?
