Iranian bloggers blog meeting with a blogging presidential candidate

Global Voices aggregates Iranian bloggers blogging a meeting with a reformist presidential candidate who writes his own Persian blog. This is pretty fascinating. Check Adventures of Mr. Behi (in English). Omid Memarian (Iranian Prospect) writes that it was the most open candidate meeting ever, perhaps an example of the openness of the Net affecting the openness of the real world.

Global Voices' daily roundup also points to a powerful, provocative piece by Martin Mbugua Kimani (African Bullets & Honey) called "Confessions of a Middle Class Kenyan" (with comments here).
