Like it or not, Google Kuwait takes over

To my surprise today, it seems the despite all our hatred against it, Google’s inforcement plan of Google.com.kw over all Kuwaiti users have worked out pretty well and in such a short time.

 

Kuwait Top 3 Sites on Alexa

I was wondering before how many people used Google.com.sa, but now after living the experience, I can understand it all. I hope people are really using it out of choice and not ignorance. I just hate pushing it for them.

well if you didn’t enforce it to go to google.com, you’ll be directed to .kw or I think most people didn’t notice the change so that’s why it’s ranked up this high

maryam: I would guess most people won’t notice .kw at end of the url. But won’t they notice the ugly Arabic interface? I got it and damn it’s so ugly! I could use Live instead

A split second to press on “Go to Google.com” wouldn’t hurt now would it? :)

MacaholiQ8: Hmmm, for me, when Google already knows I want Google.com, it does!
