CAN BLOGGERS CHANGE THE WORLD?
Debate, reader comments and forum

Today, a friend sent me this article from The Times Online Dec 23, 2005:

In 1999 there were some 50 bloggers on the web; today there are more than 23 million. In Iran, which seen a huge surge in this area, and where reformist newspapers have been closed down and many editors imprisoned, blogs offer a huge opportunity for dissent and discussion.
