Blogs Around The Globe
During class yesterday, we discussed how internet use around the world is controlled and how people in different countries handle it. We briefly talked about Iran and how they use blogging a lot. That raised a question for me and I decided to look it up. My question was, What were Iranians blogging about. I did a short search on yahoo.com and the answer became obvious right away. They are using blogs for the same reasons that Americans use them. They were talking about the politics in Iran and the Iranian government. During my search, I stumbled upon a great blogging website called Global Voices Online that takes you to different countries and their blogs. You can choose any country and look at the different blogs from that country. I think that this website is very interesting and useful not only to Americans but people around the world. We are able to exchange ideas and maybe get information that we wouldn't get from our own media.

What a great link. Very interesting.
The young people of Iran are blogging away. Can the government hold them down? Can digital freedom result in political change in Iran?
