Where is Twitter MENA/Arab Trends? #ArabMetME

In less then 4 hours, the biggest arab web event ever to happen is taking place in Beirut: ArabNet.
Quoting the website:
“ArabNet 2010 is the first international conference for the Arab web industry, bringing together leaders from across the MENA, Europe and Silicon Valley to discuss cutting-edge trends and emerging opportunities.“
The event will be covered by all media and will embrace all sorts of live coverage; from live video stream, to TV, interviews, and last but not least social media including live blogging, microblogging and illustrated blogging.
An event this big is a certain trend, however while investigating twitter trends, we just noticed that there are no trends convering the Arab or MENA Region:
Weird no? For a number of countries that have heavy users, and for a big amount of trending trends and web industry boom, it is strange how we can’t even know what is trending on twitter in the Arab World or MENA region.
Will twitter find its way to work this around?
Will #ArabNetME ring the bell for the twitter geeks and awaken them from the stupidity of not doing this?
Will #ArabNetME hit the charts in the next couple of days?
Lets see if we, the Online Arabs, could send a direct message to twitter and maybe swim with their famous overload wale…
See you at ArabNetME, the best event, the best team and the best trend!
