| We'll start with the shamless self promotion bit I won a Bloggie Award, Where is Raed? won the best Middle eastern or African Weblog category. Next time you write me an email please start your email with 'dear award winning blogger ...'. It would have been nice if I would have been able to go to the award ceremony and get whatever little plastic statue they hand out there. The truth is I am not even sure they hand out anything because I got an email today asking if I would like a graphical award! I want money and groupies and they offer 'graphical awards'. Eh ... what to do? Better a graphical award than nothing. |
| Quiz time Do you know how many Iraqi bloggers have joined the Blogosphere after the war? come on ... try a guess ... There are now 21 Iraq bloggers online, not all of them in Iraq and special mention goes to Kurdo: his Kurdo's world is the first Kurdish blog written from within Iraq. I am not really sure he would like it if I called him Iraqi but since the main Kurdish political parties have signed our new interim constitution he is, for the time being, Iraqi. He is following the recent events in Syria. Starting your blog with 'PLEASE HELP !!! Halabja is being repeated in Qamishili by Ba'athiest Arabs' isn't a good sign. Go take a look at his recent posts: it is worth your time. |
| Bookmarks My personal regular Iraqi blog reads are Baghdad Burning and Healing Iraq. and since I am either too lazy or too busy (depends how you look at it), it is good we have them to tell us about the recent attacks in Baghdad and Basra - Zeyad who writes Healing Iraq is a dentist working in Basra. If you want to know all about the new Iraqi Blogosphere you could either visit Iraq Blog Count where you will find a very good collection of Iraqi blog links and other Iraq related stuff online, or if you want to have fun why not go check the Iraq Blogosphere Map provided by the The Politburo Diktat. I was creatively renamed Blogdad and I am situated right in the middle where Baghdad should be. Thank you herr Commissar. |
Who says free speech is not possible in an Arab country...or that we are universally hated?
