This group blog is aggregating supposedly insightful comments on Pakistani Internet and IT issues. Authors are human (so do expect errors) and are mostly based in Pakistan (which means that the comments and reporting is done from the 'battle-field'). It is only incidental that a good number of contributors to this blog also happened to contribute for the magazine SPIDER which brought them together in the first place.

I vote for the 'Citizen Journalists' cover--Blogger is cool but plenty of blogging software adding to the 'participatory' momentum.
No doubt Blogger is doing a great job, But if it has to be in "TIME’s People of the Year" then some teche' issues/problems should be resolved that are sometimes very teasing, Such as late updation of blog on peak times, unpredictive behaviour in control panel and accessibility of different features of "Compose page" on different browsers.
The award is not going to blog--the technology--but the people putting it to use. That's the concept that deserves recognition, according to the article Shirazi is linking to.
Actually, the concept of 'blogs' has given birth to a whole new field of software development known as social networking software. I dont know the exact statistics, but I have read about some companies that are switching over to social net software for internal documentation and communication needs.
All these are missing one critical ingredient, however. There should be a way to download the entire archive in text format to the home PC to read them offline. As a student, it becomes unfeasible for me to read more than one blog in a day.
