Lebanon is ready for online community and participation
I gave my presentation at the conference today and the topic everyone wanted to talk about was community-created content. I described The Northwest Voice and how it is written largely by people who live in the Northwest, and several people told me afterward that they feel this idea could work in Lebanon, too. Only about 19% of Lebanese households have Internet access, but Internet cafes are everywhere and are quite popular. Lebanon has the advantage of being able to look at what has worked on the internet in other places and apply those ideas here to get a head start. Plus, Lebanese people are very social and love to talk and debate -- perfect for blogs and other online communities! I look forward to seeing what develops in Lebanese cyberspace. I have a good feeling about it.

So much for good feelings fo Lebanon, It will pe pounded back to the Crusades this week with our blessing and our weapons in Israeli hands.
But that is Ok, that is what they get for attacking our 51st state, was it Israel that attacked no matter, Foxnews tells us it was Lebanon and they are the voice of the Bush government.
