News made by people

Perhaps the best form of news and comments on news is the development of the Blog, and in particular sites like Digg. With Blog tool, every Iranian has published their view. But we Iranians do not have an equivalent of Digg. If you go to Digg and then placed "Iran" in the search field you would get what people think are good pieces of news on Iran, and then people give you credit for doing just that. Now that is the opposite of your BBC news service, that picks and chooses what it thinks is "News". Mind you Digg is occupied mostly by techies and US people, so again news on Iran is not that balanced.

News wires on Iran

There is a subtle difference between news feeds and news wires. NewsNow is at the moment the mother of all news wires. This is the link to the Iran feed in it. They even have a ranking system on the number of clicks on the right hand side of their page. So you can see what is really popular. Again a great tool to catch up on missed stories.
