Telecom World Awards, Middle East Winners 2007

Every blogger has has his, her or its formula for posting. Some internally created, or off the patterns of others, or from a formula touted as the only way, or a combination of all three. I love to take the opportunity of blogging to highlight information technology and social media companies' accomplishments, awards and sponsored events.

So... I am impressed with this list of winners!
