Social Networking and Qatar Living

I am currently writing an article on social networking for Qatar Today - with a particular focus on Qatar - and I wanted to ask the Qatar Living community what Qatar Living means to you.
In particular:
- What do you use it for? i.e. for meeting people, socialising, making contacts, promoting a website, selling/buying things e.t.c.
- How often do you use it for (daily e.t.c.) and for how long do you use it for?
- How important is it to you?
- Do you use any other forums/social networking sites?
Thanks in advance for any answers!

Tiny place and good networking site
While it's defintely not a promoted aspect of the site, there are quite a few people that have met through the social group outings and are now dating. No marriages yet, but, we shall see. :D

I use QL for all most all purposes. In fact I bought a very new car (few thousand km) thro here.
It is not a web site, a way of life.

Qlers - They are always available on QL to welcome new comers and to answers any query they post on QL such as regarding Jobs/ Housing/ buying n selling of Cars/ Electronics etc... you name anything you will find on QL. Even people feel much confident on QL and share their personal issues also !
2) New members - They come here to find Jobs/ House/ Cars/ Electronics and seek advise from Qlers on different issues ! and later they also become part of QLer Team ...
Also as Qatari mentioned the best part of QL is the QLGroups... most of us meet on weekly basis with our families !
If you ask me I am on QL almost everyday from morning till evening or sometimes late nights on weekends ..
To answer your questions:
* What do you use it for? i.e. for meeting people, socialising, making contacts, promoting a website, selling/buying things e.t.c.
A) I come here to meet my friends, make new contacts, and more importantly to extend my help to people seeking help on QL.
* How often do you use it for (daily e.t.c.) and for how long do you use it for?

A) Yes I do use other Forums/ social network but not as much as QL coz non of them are as active as QL.
All the best on your article and please do share your article with Qlers once it is published !

QL, as I perceive it, is an ongoing process which should remain with each and every individual at all times.
I do not think that QL is something that one achieves like anyone would achieve success.
Rather I think QL is more similar to the blood (yummy). In other words, it is something no one can do without. :-)
QL is something which should always be part of us.
You probably don't get what I mean, imagine someone needing help, with an aid (someone to help) they can achieve what they need help for, hence the desert are hard to pass, but can be achieved by support from others.
I check QL forums first when online, I feel secure in the fact that whatever problem I may have, QL forums will be there to give me a helping hand.
And to share the knowledge that I slowly gain to help those who that need it.
First time when I am serious in QL
< Sorry QL's , after this ...no more! :) >

Na the social network next thursday night will be better. tonight most of them were busy some where out so i didnt email them or joined them.

- Meeting people and helping answering question for people just arriving or plan to come to Qatar
- Daily
- Can take it or leave it ...
- Yes, but since i live in Qatar i use this site most of the time.
Thanks, Qatari, that is really useful.
I use QL all the time to get info on anything to do with Qatar, by far the best resource on the web for info on Qatar.
When I just moved to Doha the rental prices went sky high, however through QL classifieds, I managed to get an apartment at a below market rate, which was fantastic- I managed to save quite a bit in rental. I also managed to get a great deal on second hand car from an expat that was leaving doha.
Oh yeah, I also won a DVD from one of the competitions that was run on QL :-)

also make sure you check out some of the active groups (http://www.qatarliving.com/og) - the Social Group, Volunteers Group, Photography Group and Filipino Groups come to mind as fantastic examples of how social networking on Qatar Living helps people in Qatar get together in real life.

to ask me why do I use QL is as same as to ask drug addicted why he/she is taking drugs..
I use it daily, hourly, minutely..
Qatar Living is a very useful site to get information about Qatar as to the life of an expats (cost of living, employment issues and the like) through in-depth discussions on forums of QL members.
Thanks to the owner/admin of this site.

Qatar Living...
It has been a source of information of everything and anything about Qatar for many.
It has been a tool to reach out and dessiminate information to many of our countrymen on their questions from how to get to and how to get out Qatar.
