2011 In Review: 4 Innovative Products We Like in Egypt

A lot happened in the Middle East over the course of 2011, revolutions started in Tunisia, Egypt and still in action in other countries, 2011 was a momentous year that no one could have ever foreseen.

Technology in general and especially social media played a major role in the revolutions happening in the Middle East but despite the economic fallback, Egyptians managed to work through it and release a number of innovative  products that we found very interesting.

Law3andakDam:
Law3andakDamis an online service that matches blood donors and patients based on location and blood type.

Given what was happening during the last 6 months in countries like Egypt, twitter was filled with requests for blood at different hospitals, and we feel this site adds value to people who need blood donations.
