Iranians Third in Orkut

To my surprise, Iranians are now the thrid biggest community in Orkut, after Brazil and the United States. Given the low ratio of Internet users in Iran (some 3m out of 70m of population) and the poor quality of their access (56Kbps is still the fastest), this is really interesting.

How can you explain it? Couldn't it be weblogs?

Iranian people are known as self built and enthusiastic despite their drawbacks on technologies etc. giving way for thinking other nationals of the globe to remain active decisively. Would that they were developed by leaps and bounds with the pace of the highly developed countries of the world to prove themselves that they are not to be treated as backward people! They are encouragement providers for other under developed countries too to pick lessons from them to proceed forward towards becoming up-to-date although those nations may be having less than what they may essentially need. What’s your opinion?

How can I explain it? pretty simple... a bored and frustrated youth population with restricted real-world socializing opportunities living in low to medium income families ruling by submissive parents with old-fashioned traditional values, then where do you go to find fun? But wake up guys (including you Mr. Derakhshan! Listen man, internet is not a real world, that is cyberspace!, so don’t donate your whole life for writing non-sense, Web-logs cant be God, we dont need to look at iranian youth to find how they are wasting their lives by putting their dreams into their "no-one-reads" web-log, I simply come and read your frustrated texts ... get a bike and try to enjoy your whatever park in Toronto rather than surfing the net)
