Blogging from Iran

With Big Media largely ignoring the ongoing unrest in Iran, the Internet is the place to track events. Fortunately, while Iraq only had one blogger when things hit the fan, Iran has hundreds both there and in exile, and many post in English. There's enough you want a site that's capable of filtering and interpreting the flow, as well as looks at the raw feed. Those tracking the closest include:

• Jeff Jarvis
• Winds of Change
• Pejman

If you want to go straight to the sources, Hoder has an exhaustive list of active bloggers.

The good folks in Iran deserve at least our moral support. They also deserve the chance to take back their freedom their own way, with their own hands. A tough conundrum with a nuclear time bomb ticking in the background. [Due Diligence]
