Queen Rania uses online social-networking tools such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.[edit]YouTube
On 30 March 2008, Queen Rania launched her own YouTube channel, initially to invite viewers to give their opinions of the Middle East and talk about stereotypes they may have of Arabs and Muslims.[61] Between March 30 and August 12 (International Youth Day), Queen Rania posted videos on YouTube in which she asked people to send her their questions about Islam and the Arab world.[62] She provided responses to those questions and explained her view of the truth about various Arab and Muslim stereotypes. Over five months she posted videos on subjects that included honor killings, terrorism and the rights of Arab women.[63] International personalities such as Dean Obeidallah,[64] Maz Jobrani,[65] and YouTube star Mia Rose[66] also contributed videos to the campaign.
Queen Rania also links some of her recent interviews to her YouTube channel, such as her interview with Wolf Blitzer in CNN’s “Situation Room”, in April 2009. During this two part interview, Queen Rania discussed the importance of education.[67] Queen Rania also uploads other videos on topics close to her heart, such as her appeal to support UNRWA’s work in Gaza following the Israeli assault in late December 2008/early January 2009.[68]
[edit]Facebook
Queen Rania is also a member of Facebook, with her own fan page aimed at engaging people to discuss cross-cultural dialogue, education, and more recently, the use of social media to create social change. Along with her YouTube videos that have been uploaded, photos of her personal and public life can be found. As of August 25, 2011, over 753.580 people have "Liked" her page.[69]
[edit]Twitter
To coincide with the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to Jordan on Friday, 8 May 2009, Queen Rania started using the micro-blogging websiteTwitter with the username @QueenRania.[70] On the occasion of the World Economic Forum held at the Dead Sea in Jordan, June 2009, Queen Rania conducted her first Twitter interview, answering five questions from the general public via her Twitter account.[71]
When she joined Twitter, she also gave an interview with TechCrunch on “how Twitter can help change the world”, where she said It’s about using social media for social change: creating a community of advocates who can use their voices on behalf of the voiceless, or leverage their talents, skills, knowledge, and resources to put more children into classrooms, or pressure their elected representatives to get global education top of the agenda.[72]
Her tweets have ranged from the personal, including photos of herself and her family, to more serious topics like the typhoon Ketsana in the Philippines, the 2009–2010 Iranian election protests, peace in the Middle East, and promoting Jordan, global education, and initiatives like 1GOAL.[73] She has been taunted on Twitter for some of her tweets, such as those involving the 2010–2011 Tunisian protests.[74] As of August 25, 2011, Queen Rania has over 1.629.767 followers."
Did the Jordan Postal Administration issue stamps with Queen Rania?
She can always try personalized stamps, from some countries...:)
And you didn't even mention that she's gorgeous, but we could see that.
ReplyDeleteOn her Facebook page, I just posted this: Some women want to make a difference only in their own life, by becoming somebody's trophy wife, for example. But YOU want to make a difference in the life of many, across all cultural, religious and political beliefs. People will remember an influential woman not for how much she enjoyed her status, but for how much her efforts changed "their lives of quiet desperation." I made a blogpost today, in your honor, to spread the word about your good deeds: http://dorincard.blogspot.com/2011/09/queen-rania-of-jordan-wikipedia-free.html
