I have been looking at the Jordanian blogs for quite a while now, and have decided that it is about time that I started to have a voice for myself. I am not quite sure yet what will be the aim of my writings, I guess it will be sometimes personal and sometimes Political. But I love the idea behind these blogs, the freedom that they have given people, especially us, the Arabs. I always thought that what Aljazeera used to do, with the polls on its web-page and then the show that comes Minbar AlJazeera, where we can call in and speak our mind was amazing.
But these blogs are even more amazing...they are unrestricted freedom to say what you want, and how you want it.
I am not very good with criticism-must be part of my only child syndrome-but I think this will be healthy, some people will agree with what I say, others will find it annoying and pointless...but guess that is the whole point of freedom...as long as I don't step over anyone else's rights, then really no one can tell me no you can't say that, or yes you can do that...anyway...I am only just starting this, so please be nice:)
the entire concept of a blog is fascinating to me, the style people choose (whether subconsiously or consiously), the subjects, the level of privacy...its interesting how it all plays out.
ReplyDeletebut, interestingly, been in talks with a couple of Arab folks who have stated an interest in creating one blog that would address all these arab issues, and trying to make it both arabic and english. it would have to be anonymous of course, but its an idea that has potential.
