A search online for his own information led Jordanian
businessman Talal Abu Gazaleh to launch a $10 million online Arabic encyclopaedia.
Misinformation of his birth place online led Abu Gazaleh to
take on the project to document and make available correct historic and geographic
facts amongst other information.
To be launched this year end, Tagipedia allows users to scan
QR codes and read the information behind them. Users can even create their own
QR codes.
Ghazaleh said, "I see it as a means of building an Arab
knowledge society, which is my mission in life....to contribute to the economic
and social development of the Arab world."
