Bloggers' Talk in October
11 November, 2007
As promised, we are rounding up the main discussions that took place during the month of October. In part to make them available in one place, and in another part to encourage more dialogue and provide exposure to Al Bawaba bloggers.
In October, Al Bawaba welcomed Lebanese blogger Daniel Akill who commented on news items, wrote passionately about the situation in Lebanon, and criticized Osama Bin Ladin and Al Qaeda. While blogger Munaeem expressed his opinion on the state of affairs in Western academia, claiming that “in academic circles, criticism of Israel is increasingly off-limits” and quoting a CBS News article on the subject.
Along the lines of politics, Alexander James compiled a gallery of "unreported headlines" and urged his readers to stay truly informed through his blog. In The Imperialist Watch, blogger Bill published several posts about Zionist attacks on Wikipedia, a new Israeli flag in Detroit, Hugo Chavez, and other subjects.
Also in his blog Christian Zionism, Charles E. Carlson wondered " Who Is Guarding the Oil Well Guards?" and cticized the U.S policy of killing the wounded in Fallujah. In a different domain, Zgang blog published several health- related issues such as exercise, obesity and hormones, and autism.

Why Blog?

Why Blog?
Are you constantly browsing the internet, and coming across some very interesting articles or material that you would like to tell everyone about?
Are you the type who likes to reflect on everyday life experiences by keeping a diary?
Do you make observations or find things every day that irritate you so much that you just want to rant and complain about it to anyone who would listen? The terrible bureaucracy of getting an official document done, the smelly taxi you got in, the constant interference of your relatives in your life… or the dead cockroach you found in that falafel sandwich this evening??
Do you have an opinion about anything and everything? But feel that your analytical and critical powers are unappreciated, or that any mainstream publication would censor and reject what you're trying to say?
Are you studying or working abroad and would like to keep your family and friends updated with your news without having to send separate emails every time? Perhaps you're traveling or starting out on a new experience that you would like to document and reflect upon…
Are you an amateur photographer, poet, writer, or designer, and would like to start getting feedback on your work and building a name for yourself?
Look no further… Blogging is your answer. Starting your own blog is the tool that enables you to do all of that, without the need for any sophisticated technical knowledge, or approval from anyone. It's democracy at its purest. The power of self-publishing is challenging the traditional media that we know, it's crossing boundaries, breaking stereotypes, and giving everyone the right to express themselves and share knowledge and ideas.
