Elections make bloggers visible
Elections season is making Egyptian blogs visible and high profile:
Tarek Atia quotes Egyptian bloggers in AlAhram Weekly last week and this week.
Charles Levinson writes about Egyptian blogging at the Christian Science Monitor.
Joelle Bassoul writes for the Agence France-Presse (AFP) about anti-Mubarak blogs. The article is translated to Hebrew too, as well as Spanish, and French (or is it originally in French).
Mark Glaser have talked to more Egyptian bloggers than usual and wrote about their political blogging at USC's Online Journalism Review.
And Open Democracy has a piece about Egyptian youthful bloggers.
Seems that the only reason blogs get mentioned is politics, and seems that the only people whom are interested in Egyptian politics are non-Egyptians! In order to balance things abit, I've written an article about blogs, from a total non-political perspective, and am trying to publish it at one of the local English-language publications, in an attempt to get more non-political bloggers on board. Looks like no one is interested though. Doesn't sell if its not politics?

lol... well, the elections are close... what did you expect man!
the topic you've choosen seems to be perfectly suited for publication on a weblog! go ahead, publish it - I'm sure you have more readers than those publications anyway :-)
I agree with what you say; it would be nice to have other topics covered as well, but who is doing it? I'd love to follow blogs that are focusing on anything else. If they're good I'm sure they will receive attention as well.
Oh, there are a multitude of interesting non-political blogs. Even the mostly political ones write about very interesting non-political topics. The whole mosaic of topics is what I find pretty interesting.
I didn't think of publishing what I wrote about blogs here because whoever comes here already know what blogs are, and the thing was a very primitive description of blogging.
