Nice linkage to Shirky! But still no linkage to the required readings. :-/

I wanted to ask if you by any chance found any information about who uses blogs more (liberal or conservatives) I’m doing a research about how social media tools are being used for the presidential campaign in Chile. I read that in Chile, liberals are using blogs more than the conservative parties.

Well done!

But I have a small correction to make here, you said: “It is about time for us to spread the access to the cyber community to the third world where people suffer from poverty, disease, and inhumane acts”, third word countries are defined differently than you just stated; they are either developing countries or under-developed countries but is not that they are suffering from poverty and diseases, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are considered third world countries. From Wikipedia: Third World in referring to countries currently called either “developing” or “under-developed”, especially in Latin America, Africa, Oceania, and Asia, that were unaligned with either the Communist Soviet bloc or the Capitalist American bloc during the Cold War (1945–1989). Third World is synonymous with all countries in the developing world, regardless of their political status. For the most part, Third World did not include China. Politically, the Third World emerged at the Bandung Conference (1955), which established the Nonaligned Movement. Numerically, the Third World dominates the United Nations, but is so culturally and economically diverse that its political cohesion is hypothetical. The petroleum-rich countries (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Libya, etc.) and the new industrial countries (Taiwan, Republic of Korea, Singapore, etc.) have little in common with poor countries (Haiti, Chad, Afghanistan, etc.).
