Could AbsoluteGeeks.com be the region’s next big tech site?

What do you get if you combine three Dubai-based technology lovers, a firm friendship, and the omnipresent World Wide Web? As it turns out, this potent combination has brought us the Middle East’s newest online hub for all things tech: Absolute Geeks.

“We love technology and are incredibly curious about new phones and devices. In fact, we just crave to get our hands on what could be the world’s next pioneering piece of technology. As much as we get a kick from using these devices, we equally enjoy sharing our opinions with fellow geeks and contributing reviews to other tech-related sites,” explains Khalid Akbik (pictured right), a member of the site’s founding team.

Akbik, who specializes in social media, had been running his own blog called Gadget Camel for some time, as did the other two members of the techie trio: Kinan Jarjous and Samer Chami (who previously blogged at TheBigSam.com).

According to the founders, the region lacked a fresh, credible, and comprehensive tech site, where true blue techies and total novices alike could find information to meet their needs. “Whenever we wanted to buy a new device, we’d first go online and look up reviews on major tech websites, most of which are US-based. But the device specifications in these locations are different than what they’d be in the Middle East, making this information irrelevant,” points out Jarjous (pictured left).

Cofounder Chami, pictured below, reminisces: “It dawned on us that since we loved technology, wrote about it regularly for other sites and on our own blogs, that we should just unite our efforts and launch the ultimate site for all things geek.”
