In an excellent move to embrace social networks in Saudi Arabia, Mobily has announced via their CIO (Medhat Amer) that if you any any issues with your Mobily service then just send a twitter post (tweet) with @mobily1100.
Mobily’s main twitter account is @Mobily and is now dedicated for Mobily news. STC also have a twitter account (@STC_KSA) but it’s hardly used for support.
Mobily is not the first in the region, Du is providing support for their customers in UAE.

Twtbase, a website dedicated for listing and rating Twitter applications was acquired by Saleh Alzaid, a Saudi web developer. Saleh is the creator of untiny (short url parser, initially created to bypass Saudi Arabia’s ongoing block of tinyurl).
Thanks ArabCrunch for the heads up.

Tracking multiple shipments can be a pain. I usually use a Mac OS X Dashboard widget named Delivery Status. But I also found about an interesting method to track shipments using Twitter!
First of all you need a Twitter account. Follow @trackthis, it will auto follow you immediatly. While you are at it, follow us @sauditech to receive website updates. Then send a direct message to @trackthis in this format:
d trackthis 123456789123 New PC
Where the number is the UPS, Fedex, USPS, DHL, etc tracking number and the text after that is the label for that shipments. Now you will receive direct messages from @trackthis whenever there is a change in the delivery status. You can learn more about trackthis at their website. They also offer tracking using a Facebook application or though an e-mail message.
