There was a time when twitter was blocked in UAE for reasons I still can’t understand. But then it was unblocked which resulted in mass adoption of twitter by netizens of the nation.

In case you are not yet familiar with twitter phenomenon then you can get introduced by this video here. The only thing I want to add to that introduction is that twitter is now much more than answering the “what are you doing?” question. It is being used to share links, pictures, videos, and anything that can be shared. It’s also a highly effective platform for online marketing. It compliments the existing social networking engines in more ways then we can think of. Twitter rocks!

So here is a list of major twitter users in UAE that will surely add value to your twitter time-line. The list is by no means complete. You can add more to it in the comments.

But first things first, a shameless plug. Please follow me at twitter here.

Below are twitter users in UAE I particularly like:

Rex: UAE’s first online men’s magazine
Dubai Explorer: Twitter account of Explorer magazine
ExpatWoman: Twitter account of Expatwoman.com
Masarat Daud: Non-conformist. Indian girl-child. Youth talk radio presenter in Dubai. Defying stereotypes, working for rural empowerment in Rajasthan, India.
Omran AlOwais: Owner of the shufflegazine
Magnus Nystedt: Editor of shufflegazine
shufflegazine: Shufflegazine itself
Wild Peeta: Owner of the wild peeta restaurant. Great example of twitter marketing campaign.
Stuff Magazine
Time Out Dubai: Time Out Dubai Magazine

And here are some random UAE twitter users that I follow:

Kinan Jarjous
Saleh Esmaeili
Jeswin Lopez
Aaron White
Oussama Salah
Kellie Whitehead
Mohammed Abu Ghoush
The m! Shop Dubai
Dubai Guy
sam
Dubai Informer
Venkatesh Sridhar
REG ATHWAL
Swidub
Kedar aka Floatr
Samar Owais
binmugahid

Stephanie TS.
