Weblogs in Iran I have been interested in the explosion of weblogs in Iran which are a major force in the developing social revolution.  A year ago, the Iranian blogger was relatively alone.  Currently, PersianBlog hosts thousands of new weblogs.  Many more, such as Ayandegan are hosted on BlogSpot.  According to the Christian Science Monitor, there are now 20,000 bloggers in Iran.  It is also estimated that there are now 3 million internet users in the country, an increase of 90% from a year ago.  Weblogs are quickly becoming the primary source of information and idea exchange in the country.  I'll be watching closely to see how this develops. 2:10:35 PM    comment []
