More on Ghonim

In the last post I mentioned that Wael Ghonim used to work at Google, the correct info is that he is on a one year leave from his job as Marketing Manager in the Middle East and north Africa to establish a charity foundation in Egypt, which is something great to be added to him.

My intention was not to belittle of him or to underestimate his role in the revolution, but I was only wondering why was HE honored in the TIME 100 list and not anyone else? Was it because he cried at interview? Was it because he was imprisoned for 12 days without anyone knowing where he was or whether he was dead or alive? I just don't think he deserved the title.

That's all I was saying... I thank everyone for their comments :)

It's Something I Just Don't Understand

So, guess what's my first post is going to be about? Royal Wedding? Nope, guess again!

It's about Wael Ghonim.. There's something about him that I just don't understand... Why is he on The Time 100, the list of the 100 most influential people in the world. I mean, really??

Wael Ghonim is a 30 year old Egyptian man, who until recently, worked as Google's marketing manager in the middle east and north Africa. He is a supporter of Mohamed EL-

Baradei, an Egyptian presidential candidate. He is believed to have played a big role in the Egyptian Jan 25 revolution, and this is what I don't understand. What part did he play exactly? And why is he suddenly an international hero? What is it that he has done to make it to The Time 100 list?

I think he doesn't deserve all the hype that is surrounding him right now. And I personally do not believe him. Maybe there IS something I do not understand. What do you think?

Have your say...
