First of all, on the occasion of the International Women's Day - March 8, I want to wish a Happy Women's day to all women and men out there.
A special shout out to
mom, I am so proud of you, you do not only use Facebook & msn, you also use gmail and gtalk, use their phone service & read articles online! Seriously, you rock! I love you :D
Another big shout out to some
Lebanese female bloggers (blog) and micro bloggers (twitter) who I love reading, though sadly some stopped blogging regularly. They either inspired me, or taught me something new, or simply added smiles to my life, and few even argued with :P Most I had the pleasure in meeting, hanging out with, having dinners or a drink & steaks & sushi & what not. Anyway this is a compilation I gathered from the past 5 years I've been blogging:

I want to add also a shout out to very nice ladies from Jordan, Bahrain & other countries.. some I met, and some I hope to meet in the future, I enjoy reading these ladies on twitter, occasionally have a discussion (followed by tons of DMs) and after a year and a half of stalking them, you do form a sort of connection, right? :)

And finally
Maria Popova, who doesn't know of my existence, but I love her tweets & links, she's a web curator. Do check her out.
Okay that is a long list! Happy Women's Day ladies!
Post edited: I cannot believe I forgot to include
Jillian C York! What an incredible lady. She's a digital activist, really involved in the Arab World, tweet her and you get a reply, again and again! She is that modest. Excellent journalist, keen eye and truly smart!
