The Guardian brings a highly fascinating article on Iran's major offensive regarding the usage of blogs within the purview of a new government office.

[...] In a speech during the closing ceremony of the first Festival for Islamic Revolutionary Blogs and Websites, co-sponsored by the ministry of culture, Mr Harandi celebrated the fact that everyone in Iran could now comment on current issues and "speak like a president"...

Now how surprising is that!? Only a while ago, people where arrested for running a blog... Well, if the intention really is to encourage people to share and public their opinion, lots of controversial discussions and comments can be expected - presuming no censorship at all...
I am eager to follow the reactions from the Iranian (existing) blogosphere on this sudden move.
