Yahoo! Maktoob Gives Celebrity News a Makeover with Launch of OMG! Arabic Platform
Audiences eager for the latest in celebrity news, photos and more can now follow their favorite stars via a localized version of
Yahoo!
's popular OMG! site in Arabic
The site automatically consolidates thousands of links and posts from throughout the region's online community, offering visitors the unique opportunity to contribute and develop the site's daily headlines. The Middle East's hottest trends will also be reviewed in forums available exclusively to the OMG! site and can be accessed from wherever users are and across all devices.
Ahmed Nassef, Vice President and Managing Director of Yahoo! Middle East, says that the Middle East entertainment industry has always been incredibly colorful, with icons from the cinema and music industry dominating a host of celebrity-focused media. The new OMG! site is thus part of Yahoo! Maktoob 's aim to provide the millions of internet users in the Arab world with personally relevant content, making Yahoo! Maktoob the center of their online lives by connecting them to the people and things that matter to them.
The inauguration of OMG! Arabic comes on the heels of
Yahoo! Maktoob
's recent launch of its new Arabic and English home page for the Middle East, bringing together the best of the Web with the best of
Yahoo! Maktoob
all within a single destination.
