I don't believe it would be categorized under killer apps if it was catering to users anywhere else in the world as it's audience is very limited but in middle east, where internet is still in its infancy because of the number of users and the restrictive policies of telecom operators had imposed on internet uasge, AMEinfo would certainly be in the top five. In ME, internet is still not used much for e-commerce. I think it will just take time for the general public to realize the convenience online commerce brings. While in UAE, there was not a single website that I used regulalry which originated from the ME. Once public usage/awareness increases (in particular online activities), I do see quite a few websites emerging which would become essential part of ME internet users' online activities.
