The site, in 2005
A privately run online news agency reporting on Syria, edited by Nidal Maalouf.
It launched in late 2003, when most political news sites about Syria were blocked inside the country, and became popular for discussing domestic issues. It opened an office in Turkey around 2011.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
