you know, I think it’s not just about us, It’s the problem with web development industry! One idea succeed, then everybody copy it!! but sometimes the copy is better than the original, like MySpace and Facebook. but look at how many social network out there, and they’re all failures big time!
But anyway, ALL HAIL COBY BASTE!!!! ME LOVE COBY BASTE!!
Firas, Khabbr is not a copy of Digg or any other site, its a social bookmarking site that has it’s own style and interface, but the idea is the same because this is the idea of all the social bookmarking sites.
We need such sites in the Arab world to push the good internet content.
Some people in the Arab world can’t use Digg or any site in English because simply they can’t read English, so we have to develop such good sites with Arabic interfaces!
And one more note; I believe there is nothing wrong with ideas’ copy/paste as long as these ideas are really good and deserve being copied to the Arab World.
I think it’s ok to copy an idea, It seems to me that this is how web development industry goes anyway. But this copy must give something new and must be functional. Jeeran is doing a great job in offering web services to those who - as you said - can’t read English, which is - in my humble opinion - is not a bad idea at all, actually I think Jeeran services will be a success (to a certain extent).

Dear 7alloush,
