Everyone loves to blog, including Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad! In one of the most information-repressive countries in the world, Iran’s president has entered the online media battlefield. Will he win hearts and minds? Probably not, but it’s يادداشت هاي شخصي اØمدي نژاد Ahmadinejad Online .
Let me know in comments whether or not the Arabic text in that link shows correctly on your browser – it’s the only reason I left it in there. If it does, and you can read it, let me know what it says as well.
Suzanne – I do indeed already have it. Saw the BBC story on it.
Blonde – Thanks, yes I looked briefly at the English version, but it really was boring!
Dave, the letters are Arabic and I can see them alright, but it is Farsi, so I cannot tell you waht it says. The blog has a Farsi, Arabic, French and English versions. It is rather boring, too, he tells about his early childhood in the first post. I guess he does not know what a blog is all about.
ah – I see you already have this. I just sent it to you. There’s evidently an English version as well as the Arabic, and they’re “working on” the French one. The NineMSN website has a good article summarising the initial posting etc.
