Interessantes Festival zu den Themen Jugend, Weblogs und die Informationsgesellschaft in Teheran:

The First of its kind in the Middle-East, the 3-day festival titled "Youth, Weblogs and the Information Society" started in Tehran. The fast growth of Internet users in Iran, the phenomenal number of Persian language weblogs on Internet which make up a considerable portion of the worldwide web's Persian language content, has been pointed out as the motivations for this festival.

This weblog festival not only encourages Iranian bloggers, but also as Hoder wrote a couple of days ago, it will help the computer-illiterate officials in judiciary and elsewhere to understand more about weblogs and realise that Internet is not going to doom them all together!
