Yahoo has finally taken a plunge in the Arabic world by acquiring Maktoob.com, the largest Arab web portal and online community

Check out - http://bit.ly/LIpJR

Do you think this will benefit arabic speaking internet users ?

I would not say that. You'll see google growth start to slow next year and yahoo and msn are in better positions elsewhere. Google search rules right now but yahoo and msn will have an edge in marketing. Do some research.
