Iran: A Nation of Bloggers

It took something exceptional to snap me out of my several-month blogging slump. I found this on twitter from @marshallk Iran: A Nation of Bloggers a powerful 2 minute video.

Half of Iran's population is under 25 and they are not happy with the oppressive regime. They blog about it, most anonymously for fear of imprisonment, but some are bold enough to speak out. I did not realize that Iran is the third largest blogger nation.

Check out this video.



Good stuff! Let Social media bring democracy to the masses, Obama style!

Wow. The world discovered this in a big way after the recent election in Iran. How cool that you were on top of Iran's connectivity back in Feb. You = rock star.
