'Wil Ya Wil' is a chant that is repeated by Egyptian children when the unexpected happens and the underdog wins.

Wil Ya Wil the blog celebrates the unexpected which is the role of SOCIAL MEDIA in EGYPT and the CONVERSATIONS we are having as a result. By social media i mean: the blogs, social networks and web videos.

Wil Ya Wil features syndicated blog posts by bloggers who write about what they've seen, read and their opinion on the latest events taking place in Egypt. Like a 'Google News' for the Egyptian blogosphere. We are 9 bloggers strong at the moment. You can read their profiles here .

Would LOVE to read YOUR comments and feedback on the blog. One rule though, BE NICE: Even if you disagree with someone, you need to keep your tone civil and reasonable.

This blog is a prototype managed by blogger-in-chief, Wil. More features and Arabic blogs will be included in the next few months. Do you want to recommend a blog (yours or someone else's) to include in Wil Ya Wil? Yes, please email me .
