Global Voices Online Anyone remember those IBM commercials from the late '90s, featuring citizens around the globe waxing enthusiastic about the world's growing interconnectedness? While back then the notion was merely a clever ploy to move product, it's an undeniable reality today. Global Voices aims to "call attention to conversations and points of view that ... will shed new light on the nature of our inter-connected world." And boy does it. From India to Russia to the Philippines to China, Global Voices tracks and summarizes the blogosphere nation by nation. Some highlights: A fascinating interview with an Afghan blogger, a daily world blog roundup, and an archive of international podcasts. This is citizen talking to citizen, without governments or mass media in between. That can only be a good thing. (in Blogs)
