Iran - blogosphere
Email from Loaded Web . . . .
As you likely have heard over the past 5 days, the people of Iran have bravely taken to the streets in a continuous effort to demand their right to have their votes fairly counted. The blogosphere, Twitter, and other social media outlets have served as key organizational tools for the protesters and have been at the forefront of bringing raw news and analysis to the outside world. These outlets have also been overwhelmingly used as a way for the world to show its support and solidarity with the people of Iran in their struggle to defend their rights.
www.LoadedWeb.com now displays a triangle in the top left corner of our website in support of the Iranian democratic movement. By visiting the website and clicking on the green triangle on the top-left corner, you can find a brief description of the events which have so far unfolded as well as some links to useful pages - including blogs - that cover the story.
Yet more importantly - the link will show you how you can show your solidarity with the people of Iran, including putting up a similar triangle on your own blog. You can find all this at http://ir.loadedweb.com/
Please ask other bloggers to sign up and join the cause as well. By just making a small and seemingly superficial gesture in this cause, you give hope to the protesters in Iran and encourage them to continue fighting for their right to have their voice heard. Imagine thousands of bloggers coming together in showing their support.
So I ask you to take the time to visit the site, check out the links, show support for the Iranian people, and to invite other bloggers to do the same. This is not naivety - we do not expect drastic change to occur tomorrow. But with all of our support, they can know that we are on their side, and that tomorrow will not be like yesterday.
