Interesting New Jordanian Blogs

It seems that our Jordanian bloggers community is expanding both in quality and quantuty. I know that blogs are emerging on daily basis and it is difficult to keep track of them, but I wanted to mention some quality blogs that I like which are not listed on Jordan Planet yet. Of course this is "my list" based on links that I managed to track so if any Jordanian blogger does not find his/her blog in this list the only explanation is that I was not able to link to it
So here goes the list
 
Abu Shreek: A naughty, sarcastic and well informed blogger who manages to get my attention but would love to read more shorter posts!
 
The Arab Observer: Very well-articulated political, social and personal reflections. He is a liberal guy so I like him.
 
Abed Hamdan: Young but very much represents an intellectual mind and a great ability to present ideas and engaging in civic dialogues. He is a fantastic blogger.
 
Mala2e6: A hilarious and attractive blog by a Jordanian young girl. An important quality addition to spicy blogs. It is in Arabic which makes it a more "natural" hilarious blog.
 
Khobbeizeh :  A diverse and updated blog that is worth all the time needed to read and comment.
 
Thought Clouds: A nice and informative blog by a Jordanian living in Qatar
 
Faces & Masks: This is an Arabic blog by Omar al Azbi who is a Jordanian journalists I worked with at Al Arab Al Yawm in the end of the 90s. He is a very decent guy and the blog is very interesting.
 
Youssef Ghishan: The Arabic blog for the best sarcastic writer in Jordan. You will enjoy his rants here.
 
Helmi Al Asmar: Another great Arabic blog by a very important Jordanian writer with a fantastic style.
 
Rana Shawar: A great collection of Arabic posts on social issues in Jordan and the Arab world
 
Well, I am sure there are more and we look forward for expanding this community.

Batir,
Thanks for the endorsement.
But as for the long posts, I made it clear that the posts do not cater for those who suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder, and thank god i do not have to comply with a word limit (like that probably enforced on you by the newspaper).
By the way how did you now that il rafeeqah Malagett is a “young” blogger (ma3 i7tirami la il rafeeqah malagett, her blog and her age :0) …

Abu Shreek..what the hell is that "Attention Dificit Disorder" you are talking about? Well I guess I will have to print out your articles and read them on a cup of coffee under the sun light to het more attention through more AcetylCholine in my nrevous system.
As for Rafeeqah Mala6e2 I really did not know she is young by age but she is certainly young by spirit which I think counts here.
Mabrouk your citizenship in the Jordan Planet, it almost looked like a canada Immigration system!

Wow, my blog is in the list :)

Thanks Batir. I like you as well.

Just yesterday I was thinking of posting about how much it is hard to get your blog popular. It reminds me of old school somehow.

I, being new comer, it feels like older popular bloggers created a circle around themselves where it is not easy for new comers to get noticed and fit in.
