We may not know when the next Iranian revolution will occur, but we can say with confidence that it will certainly be blogged. There were reportedly 40,000 to 100,000 blogs based in Iran in 2005, and that number has undoutedly grown immensely since then.

We may not know when the next Iranian revolution will occur, but we can say with confidence that it will certainly be blogged. There were reportedly 40,000 to 100,000 blogs based in Iran in 2005, and that number has undoutedly grown immensely since then. Blogs in Iran can serve as a balance to state-controlled media, and let people both inside and outside the country know what is truly going on.

And don’t forget, there’s always Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s blog.
