On of the contributors to the BlogTalk conference in Vienna later this month is Hossein Derakshsan. He is talking about weblogs from an Iranian perspective and reading his paper is really interesting. Did you know that over 10 000 Persian weblogs emerged in the last 20 months? I didn't have a clue.
Derakshsan writes that many young women have started weblogging in Iran, writing about everything from personal diaries to political critisism. Weblogs have also been giving first hand information about student protesting and some webloggers even got hired by traditional newspapers to continue writing for them.
And since my Persian is a bit rusty ;) at the moment, I would be interested in Iranian weblogs in English. Is there any? URL, please!

En annan blogrelaterad frŒga. Vad har hŠnt med bloggaren frŒn Bagdad, Dear Raed..., som fanns pŒ http://www.dear_raed.blogspot.com/ ?
MŒnga var vŠl osŠkra pŒ om han existerade i verkligheten. I nulŠget har han inte uppdaterats sedan 24/3. Ngnting verkar lite skumt. Har inte sett ngra funderingar. Ngn som vet?
