The Paper and The Blogs

Bloghopping between Secret and UAE C Blog today quite surprised me stumbling on one of the posts. Apparently, this blog was one of those featured first in the Blog Bites Section of the Emirates Today, the newest English-language broadsheet in the UAE launched early this week. (For reference to the other English-language newspapers in UAE, read here --->).

Blogging here in the UAE has indeed seen phenomenal popularity judging from how the blogroll of the UAE C blog stretches day by day. Often I even find reading snippets that can become news material the next day or two and most posts even provide background stories from the headlines of UAE's newspapers.

For Emirates Today, thanks and good luck to your newspaper. Be careful in culling blog posts. Sometimes, blog posts are written in parts and if quoted improperly, might suggest an entirely different meaning from what the posts had originally intended.

I actually emailed them to point out the issue of blog-author comment as opposed to blog-reader comment. If they run this feature regularly, they should distinguish between the two.
