Salamworld, the other Facebook

September 25th, 2012 | Category: Uncategorized

Facebook has nearly a billion followers worldwide. It has no boundaries. Salamworld thinks that it can create a world with certain boundaries. Headquartered in Istanbul, Salamworld want to find the next Facebook based on Muslim core values. Salamworld has been created by a group of Turkish, Russian, and Central Asian media professionals and businessmen.

Currently there are 250 million Muslim Facebook users worldwide. According to Salamworld, they are with the Facebook because there is no other alternative. Recently they released a beta version of the site and expect to launch in 17 countries by the year’s end. In addition to sharing photos and posts, they intend to provide counseling by respected imams, Islamic e-books, city guides with Islamic centers and halal restaurants, and a Muslim news network. It plans to attract 50 million users in five years after the launch. Compare this to nearly 350 million Facebook users within the first five years of launch.

The history is not on Salamworld side. The Finland based Muxlim.com launched in 2006 shut down earlier this year due to losses. So far the London based AlWahy.com has not gained any traction. The Muslim Brotherhood’s site launched in 2010 has been shut down.

  • Needs – There are a lot of companies and organizations that think that consultants are experts in everything to do with information technology. But this isn’t so. Look for a company that is going to give you the services that you need most in your company.
  • Organization – When you are choosing a consultant, make sure that they are well organized.  This can save you a lot of money.  A lot of companies provide you with secure and fully protected servers. That means that you are able to store your crucial and important data on the servers rather than having servers of your own and having to maintain them.
  • Listen – When you are looking for a consultant you should find one that is going to listen to what you are saying and what you need. They shouldn’t give you advice without first finding out what you have to say to them.  So make sure that they are going to listen before you hire them.
