Social media tools, such as twitter and facebook, played a significant part of the overthrowing of Mubarak. With two-thirds of Egypt's population under the age of 30, it's no surprise that internet-savvy, educated, young Egyptians used such tools to break barriers in a country that has been ruled under unjust dictatorship throughout their lives.

It would be imperative to understand what your anticipated traffic is and exactly how much you could afford. Some of these plans are designed to pigeon-hole the consumer. It would be considered a good problem to need a higher traffic plan at 270.00 because the investment should return much more than cost.

Too much is too much in a website and especially if you are demanding others to build around you. The project objectives for this redesign were vague and ambitious. This is a recipe for cost overruns. So far no one is rushing to comply with the objectives set out by this redesign team.

One would think this would be the other way round
