MSN Arabia joins forces with WINJIG.com to bring users top prizes

The channel, which is free and open to all MSN Arabia users, offers zones from; hangman and crosswords, to quizzes on sports, movies and music. Over 100 winners a month will receive quality prizes, ranging from Web cams, sound systems and mobile phones, delivered directly to their home.

"The partnership with Winjig.com and the introduction of the 'Quiz & Win' channel, not only offers our users challenging and varied entertainment, but gives a great opportunity to win high-value prizes. This continues with MSN Arabia's effort to partner with the leading content and e-commerce providers in the region to provide Arab users with the highest quality of localized content and services," said Khaled Bichara, president and CEO of LINKdotNET. "We have been very impressed with the creative ideas from Winjig.com and hope to bring more exciting features to our users in the future."

The channel offers an array of activities for users in addition to the quizzes. Browsers can write poetry in the 'Poets Corner' and trade unwanted items, such as CDs and books, in the 'Barter Bazaar'. There is an 'ePromo' zone, where users can experience multimedia presentations on new products and services, which is also attracting marketers who see the zone as a useful tool for online campaigns.

"We are really pleased to partner with MSN Arabia and add our site to the services and entertainment offered by MSN Arabia to its users." Said Vikram Tah, COO, Winjig.com. "Our experience over the last year, since the site was launched, has shown us that our users want challenging questions with top prizes. The quizzes cater to all interests, with category choices ranging from Arabic music, Hollywood movies and for the more creative, a Poets corner. We have already seen a great deal of members join from MSN Arabia, since the site went live 10 days ago and look forward to getting great feedback as the prizes arrive at the doorsteps of the MSN winners!"

This is only the latest addition to an array of channels and new user interface MSN Arabia has added to the site to enhance the user experience. A diverse range of interests are now represented which include: top sporting news, daily polls, movie theatre listings, restaurant guides, an extensive online travel channel, as well as up-to-the minute current affairs.
