Google Egypt

Although I do not know him personally, yet, I was excited to know that Sherif Iskander is working as a Business Manager for Google, handling their interests in Egypt. I do hope the day nears when Google opens up a development center in Egypt similar to the one it has in India. That would result in technology transfer, more jobs in the high tech industry for Egyptians inside Egypt and better Google services for the Arabic language and Arab countries. For Google it will mean tapping into a growing pool of creative talent eager to participate in creating all sorts of new and interesting stuff.
