Blog of the week!

For a nation plagued by controversy ever since Mr Ahmadinejad took over the reins of the government- this is a big step.

The Iranian president lauched his own blog [Link] last week amidst cautious speculations in the blogger community. Mr Ahmadinejad's first entry on his blog, which is available in Persian, Arabic, English and French and includes an RSS feed to get future new entries to readers, is dated Friday.

Besides the media attention and the world opinion on this latest action by the Iranian leader, I think it would a great way to correspond one to one with him. I am sure the comments would be moderated, but here's a way to check out Mr. Ahmadinejad through our own interaction with him rather than what we are told by main stream media, specially here in America.

Mr Bush and Mr Blair have permamently hijacked the media for the whole term of their presidency. So what does that leave other leaders with? Mr. Chavez has his own television show. . The Indian president- Mr Adbul Kalam has his own official website where one can write to him [Link]. And now Mr Ahmadinejad has started blogging. What's next?
