The overwhelming success was due to several factors; a strong parent-company brand name, the popular LINKdotNET character (the 0777 mouse), the use of cutting-edge technology and perhaps most importantly - the added value of services available to users on the LINK 0777 website, exclusive to LINKdotNET subscribers.
"We have the most potent social network in the country" commented Karim Beshara, LINKdotNET Chief Executive Officer. "Our three million subscribers are a testament to that. We enjoy a growth rate of 28,000 new subscriptions weekly".
In 2005, LINKdotNET launched its 'Hello' service which provided a large number of users from varying backgrounds and cultures with an arena to social interact. Users could send SMS messages from their mobile handsets without divulging their numbers or other personal information, as well as uploading digital snapshots. Having the unique user friendly Arabic platform has also contributed to 'Hello's' great success.
