Google Arabic

Posted in Tech by Fox on the April 26th, 2006

Ever since it was launched in 1996, Google has been going global. The expansion includes everything from Afghanistan to Zambia including large countries as well as lost islands of the pacific.
What is the difference between the different Google falvors you ask?
I tried several searches on Google UK and Google Saudi Arabia, the results are very similar. You could actually get the results of Saudi Arabia by personalizing search options on Google UK. The way I see it, a Google flavor is just a specific configuration of the real Google (the .com Google).

Let’s take a closer look to the arab world where Google is relatively new. Current Google Arabia flavors include:
Bahrein: www.google.com.bh
Egypt: www.google.com.eg
Jordan: www.google.jo
Oman: www.google.com.om
Saudi Arabia: www.google.com.sa
United Arab Emirates: www.google.ae

No sign of Google Lebanon yet but for what it’s worth, I don’t really think it might do any difference if it was launched or not. It’s just another paperwrap for another Google can.
