I am in Copenhagen, Denmark, for the CPH:DOX, Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival. My friend Omid Habibinia and I just had a seminar on the role of the new media in post-election events in Iran (The Revolution will be twittered – IRAN and the Internet). Omid discussed the process of transferring some of the videos, which later became popular on the Internet, out of Iran. I asserted that I am a fan of blogging but I want to take the role of the cynic and talk about the pitfalls of blogging, using examples from what did happen in the past six months in the Persian blogosphere.
Here are my slides. The title of the presentation was “Blog.Persian, The Empty Half”. Any comment or suggestion is absolutely welcome. Take the PDF file from here (200KB).
