Top officials follow Persian weblogs
I'm not exactly sure if this has happend anywhere else. But some top officials are not only reading and following Persian weblogs, but also are responding to and commenting about some posts in popular weblogs. After Fazel Larijani called me when I wrote a pieace on his newly started mission in Ottawa as a cultural embassador, 2 of top reformist officials -one of them is a an MP from Tehran- put comments on Sina Motallebi's post about Iranian journalists' association's lack of support to the recently-arrested journliast, Alireza Eshraghi. There were other news that many top politicians are closely following these writings, but this is the first time they actually reacted to them.
