According to Internet World Stats the top gainers in terms of growth are Syria, Iran, and Saudi Arabia with growth rate/population 11466.70%, 9100.00%, 3090.00% respectively, Syrians were open to internet in 2000 and they are working on expanding their networks throughout the country. Jordan were placed in the middle of the 13 countries list with 785.1% Growth from 2007 – 2008 where number of internet users in Jordan were estimated in 2008 around 1,126,700 while in 2007 they were 796,900 also its worth to mention that back in 2000 number of internet users in Jordan was "127,300" so well DONE JORDAN!
Having these great growth percentages makes the Middle East a great developing region in the field of Internet but where they are compared to the world? From the same website a pie chart shows the percentages of Middle East internet users who form only 2.9% of the rest of the world! Never the less in comparison of world's growth to Middle East the development in Middle East region is way ahead with 1,296.2% User Growth (2000-2008) while 327.3 for the rest of the world.
I am still in the process of formulating a decent report about the viability of E-Commerce websites in Middle East Region and the effect of Social Media as key success factors for such websites to strive.
