Q8igg Live at Last
Earlier today at 3 AM, Q8igg was born at last. A Pligg site, juts like Digg, for the Kuwait community. The idea is to give Kuwait submitted news more focus and chance to get high votes. As with Digg, most likely your Kuwait related posts will not make it to the Published News, unlike if you are posting it to a Kuwait only community, which is Q8igg. Another thing that separates it from other community sites is the revenue sharing model. We have enabled revenue sharing with our users. For the news that you submit, if you have provided your Google AdSense ID, the Google Ads shown on that news page are all yours. So if you help the site grow, we think it’s only logic that we share the profit with you. Keeping in mind that spamming with low quality posts will only cause your posts to be ignored. Unlike if you contribute with high quality content, in which case you can make it to the Top Users list. If you want more details, read more about it on Q8Ba7th blog, or go to Q8igg Help page.
On the personal level, it’s only been a month since I left my job and I managed to learn quite a lot. I escaped the low working mentality that was surrounding the work environment, and now I can happily enjoy programming again. For the past two years, programming was not fun for me anymore, and fun is what drives me in this game. I gave away a lot to earn this FREE time for now. To take a rest, have some quality family time, and do what I like to do. Keep learning new stuff all the time. Knowledge is impossible to measure. And thank God within that month I managed to get this small thing live, along with some other stuff I’m still working on, and I have a lot more up my mind. Hopefully I will keep up the pace.
Why did I leave my job when I was getting good payment? What is that I want? It can be summarized in this quote I usually say:
“All your biggest dreams will remain so unless you act on them, or live without them”
It’s not free of risks, but what’s life without risks? And what kind of dream is achievable without risk and sacrifice?

well i don’t think this q8 digg thing is going anywhere man … first Kuwaities don’t even know what digg is to start with and man the guys who made it they are ahead of their time
Offtopic: check this out :)
Blue Dress: Thanks you very much. Nice to see people understanding how frustrating it is. and yes, E-Kuwait has a lot of work yet to be done.
Ali Deera Chat: Q8igg is my site brother and thank you for your honest opinion. No issues, we try to educate public. I already got 4 users in 1 day. Not bad if they do contribute :). What I love about online business is that it’s cheap and affordable :).
3baid: you can always go offtopic to send stuff that good. I didn’t know about it. Could be useful. Thanks
P.S do you now a good website to buy a domain and the whole .com shebang.
just asking guessing you know alot about that already, so i was wondering if you can help?
Blue Dress: There are 2 parts to host a site:
1- Domain name: e.g. bluedress.com. I usually use GoDaddy.com very famous.
2- Hosting site: Where you host your files, and you point your domain bluedress.com to your site. This can be also GoDaddy.com, or any other. This depends on what you want from the site. WordPress blog for example?
I use hostgator.com. Heard great deal about Hostrocket.com (see the ad in corner) these two work perfect for wordpress blog. Make sure you get shared hosting. It’s cheaper and I doubt you will need more than that.
Aaa i loved the quote.
It’s so true. its a waste to stay in one job for too long that is draining you, I’m also in a phase where i want to learn everything but i end up learning nothing heeh , I shall see how that goes.
And that website is a great idea, its great that people are actually doing something for the E-Kuwaiti world.
And seriously Good luck ;) keep learning!
