Ikbis Arab Video & Photo Sharing Site Launches New Design

Mohamed Marwen Meddah | May 12, 2008 – 9:55 am |

IkbisIkbis, the popular Arab video and photo sharing website, launched a new design last night. The new design feels a lot neater and more organized, which is great and isn’t that easy to achieve for a media content site.

A new ‘Contests’ tab has been added, so it’s clear Ikbis are going to be launching more and more contests to encourage users to post more high quality content.

A ‘Coming soon’ banner, showing two primitives and a mosquito, promises a new surprise soon; I’m guessing it’ll be a cool cartoon series by the talented Ikbis designers.

According to Ikbis, this new edition starts to reflect their evolved thinking and some of the new strategies they’ll be rolling out in the upcoming months.

    The Ikbis folks are really creative and talented. I do hope them continued success.

    I am anxious to know a bit more about their surprise, mainly because i am working on a little thing myself and i am a bit worried that we’ll both be working on the same thing (at which case i’ll be crushed) :-)

    It has happened to me repeatedly, but i guess this is the nature of today’s fast paced global world.

    P.S: I really like this blog, i wish you the best of luck.

    By the way, i doubt it is a new cartoon series, although that would be right up the ally of Ikbis, but i don’t think they’ll be so secretive about just a cartoon series.

    I think it is an extension to their application (or a new application all together). I just wonder what could it be :-)

    Ok, i guess your prediction was much closer than mine :-)

    Well, yeah just a tiny bit closer :P
    On the other hand, I’m interested in hearing about your little secret project ;)
