Tunisian 1st Foursqure Meetup
Sep 2nd
Foursqure became lately a very popular thing, competition has surpassed the bars of the imagination and the number of local users is going up like a rocket and so as good cyber-guy I have -with the help of Foursqure buddies- setup a meetup next Monday September 6, 2010 where old and new “Foursqurers:, tweeple and bloggers would meet eate and talk and then a have coffee, here is the detailed plan:
- Dinner (Iftar) at restaurant el Mida starting 7 pm.
- Coffee at Al Hambra (or the medina) afterwards.
Everbody is free to join us in one of the two places and share the fun, facebook event is going since a while and we have like 13 participants so far.
Bloggers and Tweepls 2nd Ramadan 2010 Iftar
Aug 27th
As planned in the previous thread, we met again n Ramadan around the Iftar table at El Mida (Lafayette), tweeple and bloggers (10) eating and having fun like hell.
The meetup was an occasion was to meet both really young tweeple who carry on the same ideas and dreams as the old generation the discussion were balanced between twitter culture, blogs, etc… and covered some politic stuff about censorship and the story that happened back in may25th with Slim and the others white T-shirt group and how censorship sucks and what’s coming next I was really surprised that younger generation was deeply touched with the fact and all the game behind and really pissed off like we do opening my eyes to a anti-conformist fresh meat wiling to act to change the world.
Anyway that was, again, the best times ever meeting with energetic and true people who shares the same goals and fun in life thanks you all for coming and see ya again in a week!

From where did all this red tuna come from?
Aug 20th
I am a good customer for Monoprix (Major distribution stores in Tunisia). I go several times a week for errands. Yesterday I saw on the fish stall a huge bluefin tuna (the photo, taken yesterday, shows only a part) available for sale 7,900 TND/Kg. I could not believe my eyes … especially since it’s the first time I see the tuna sale monoprix the lakeshore. As I could not find the website or email monoprix, let me post my reflection on this blog.
Via [Zizou From Djerba]
I join my voice to Zizoo about how an engendered specie continues to be sold into stores in Tunisia while few kilometers (Europe) it has banned since a while to preserve the tuna as per the breeding which most part happens in Tunisia and makes the whole operation useless, Tunisia is a permanent member of the UN and the UNEP and such trade should be the ICAAT (The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas) our fishing quote is limited to 1300 tons/year which is fairly enough but can’t explain why is it available so cheap in our market, a phone call with an expert explains that most of the most of the Tuna is not caught abroad but mainly imported from Libya, Senegal and Mauritania an information that is not displayed in the stores and that can affect the consumer’s behavior toward consuming non-Tunisian fish as for the stereotype that local fish seems to be always the best and the most trustful.
I wish that we make sure this fish wasn’t caught illegally and that we got an information in every fish for sale but it would be more adequate to ban even the trade and consumption of an irritated sea resource declining into chaos, in the mean I suggest that you take a look at “The end of the line” a Book, documentary and an action to try to save what’s remaining under water if the people above cares a little as much as reading Tuna: Love, Death, and Mercury that finished months ago that may change the image of the tune from an obsolete dish into a magnificent sea creature that deserve respect and protection.
Community Iftar: the mega Meetup of Ramadan
Aug 20th
It was the biggest meetup ever gathering more than 60 Bloggers, tweeple, Couch-surfers and photographers seizing the whole restaurant for a special supper followed by a cafe in Al Hambra in the Lake are (while other headed to Al kasba) brining the nice tradition of the Tunis communities to get meet and discuss thought and share precious moments especially for the new people of those know online and never showed up before in an event.
A main subjects brought to the table were basically how’s everybody doing, the last Twitter trends and the few surviving bloggers and of course censorship and conflicts between bloggers/ tweeple but the chemistry was working much better those days and most of the attendees were quite peaceful compared to the carnivorous old blogging school.
I hope this would create new ties and friendships as well as giving a new start start to the Tunisian blogging scene so empty and pointless since a year or so, again thank everybody for coming we will certainly do it again sometime.

Is Tunisian Blogging dead?
Jul 6th
It has been a while since the last time I smashed my keyboard so hard and uttered so much words, but this is my own fault I don’t go with the flow. As you may noticed Tunisian blogging is in decline and yes it’s the fault of Facebook and Twitter but this win’t last, people are a bit busy trying new stuff when the sweetness will disappear they will roll back to the stuff that matters: Blogging.
I have been since 2003 and you know what blogging and bloggers did change my life completely and made the new guy that most of the people appreciate today because despite Facebook, Blogging us real fun creativity and your unique stylish set of words that stub this stupid web of boring pages.
Tunisian Blogging is just taking a nap, later you would agree my insight when after a couple of years of social networking when searching for stuff that matters, only blogs would be the monuments of our civilization and so on.
OK Restaurant bankruptcy: Rumor or real facts?
Mar 8th
“OK RESTAURANTS” is a Tunisian company which main activity is trading Meals and gift through a wide network of authorized affiliates (More than 4500 members) throughout the country that -according to unofficial rumors but real testimonials- seems to be unhealthy.
Since a couple of weeks many restaurant ,the main affiliates of this kind business, have stopped accepting OK checks while still accepting other brands their main explanation is that they got unpaid bank checks and the the company is sinking in silence while other restaurants and pastries and shops keep making business with those checks in confidence as all this is just a stupid rumors.
From my end, I did ask the people in charge of this service since we the company grants those checks every month, i got a couple of foggy replies: they said that the company is working fine but that they are not getting any replies from them via phone or email which have pushed the suspicion to realism.
Since there is no official news from the company itself or the local media, the subject is matter to speculation and analysis waiting for an official statement from the company management.
