Is "بوراشد" Kuwait's answer to Gossip Girl?

For those of you who don't know who "بوراشد"/Bo-Rashed is, he's this guy who has initiated his own SMS/text message service in cooperation with Al-Watan Newspaper in which he sends his subscribers the news as it happens; if there's a fire somewhere, an important event, something political happening, he will send it to you by text in that second. 

Let's just say people subscribed to  "بوراشد" /Bo-Rashed are the first people to know what's happening in Kuwait about whatever is going on; they don't have to wait to be informed or read it in the newspapers the day after. 

I got my first dose of   "بوراشد" /Bo-Rashed today when a friend forwarded a text message that the service sent her in which he reported something of importance to me, and guaranteed that the rumors that spread 10 minutes ago were true and were not just another false rumor.. 

Let's just say, I am definitely going to subscribe to that service. 

Everyone needs reliable sources in this tiny rumor driven town that I love so much, wouldn't be Kuwait without the rumors.  

Rumors are a way to transmit information here, I swear if there was something happening in Salmiya, we'd all get it by text minutes later.. 

Now it's faster, there's blackberry messenger.

If I was Bo-Rashed I'd get a black berry, 

lol imagine if he ended his texts with "xoxo," that would be tres hilarious.

One of the perks of being connected?
