Revision as of 08:16, 25 September 2006

Blogging in Iran operates under special circumstances as the Iranian government tends to discourage self-expression. Blogs in general tend to be unregulated compared to other forms of expression in Iranian society. This characteristic can account for the huge popularity of blogs especially among Iranian youths. As of October 2005, there are estimated to be about 700,000 Iranian blogs (out of an estimated total of 100 million worldwide), of which about 40,000-110,000 are active , mostly written in Persian language, the official language of Iran.

There are also many weblogs written by Iranians in English and other languages. Most of them, though, belong to expatriates who live in North America, Europe, Japan, etc. Blogs By Iranians keeps a list of Iranian blogs written in English.

Access Issues

A weblog on Iran, technology and pop culture, by Hossein Derakhshansays "Friends in Iran, journalists and technicians, are saying that judiciary officials have ordered all major internet service providers to filter all blogging services including PersianBlog, BlogSpot, Blogger, BlogSky, and even BlogRolling. They have also ordered to filter Orkut, Yahoo Personals and some other popular dating and social networking websites."

Slashdot contributor Bahamat says "I'm the Senior System Administrator for Anonymizer and we have a contract with Voice of America to provide free proxy service to Iran. It's based off of PrivateSurfing... Added features for the Iran proxy is full time SSL, URL encryption, Persian language support, and we switch the proxy website about once a month (every time the Iranian government blocks us). We perform checks on the service from within Iran to see if our site is actually blocked (yes, it works), and we maintain a database of all known e-mail addresses that we can detect as being located in Iran. Every time we switch the proxy site we send an e-mail informing them of the new free proxy location so the citizens of Iran can find it. The sites are also broadcast via radio and TV into Iran by the VOA. To be honest, we're usually about a day behind the blocks, due mostly to time zone differences."

Interesting facts

"Persian is now the fourth most widely used language on web logs." - The (UK) Times, 2004 [3].
