It seems like a storefront is a good starting point, but I only visit stores when I'm in the mood to shop, not when I'm in the mood to explore and discover. I'd like a site where I can really sink my teeth into art coming out of the Middle East... alongside commentary and news. Still, Incognito did lead to my discovering the music and photography of Lebanon's Joanna Andraos. I agree that Incognito has a way to go.
