Arab Blog Tool Advances Freedom in Middle East

Spirit of America and client iUpload bring “Viral Freedom” through Blogs to the Arab World. What a compelling and remarkable use of blogs. Now writers sitting in pajamas in the region can make an impact on the advancement of democracy. I'd like to see traditional journalists say their voice is not a serious and important one. Read on.

iUpload’s Blog Platform developed the Arabic Blogging Tool, and Spirit of America is funding the development effort, that will make Internet publishing and free expression in the Middle East easier and more accessible than ever before.

The Arabic blogging tool is available at no cost and Spirit of America will host Arabic blogs for free for those working to advance freedom and democracy in the Arab world. iUpload’s blogging software is being used in this important effort.

The Iraqi non-governmental organization Friends of Democracy is working with Spirit of America in using iUpload’s blogging tool to help pro-democracy groups and individuals create blogs and publish and share their thoughts on the Internet.

iUpload Personal Publisher is a platform for building branded, self-service, blog communities and can be developed for any company or community. In this case, iUpload has created an Arabic “skin” for Spirit of America, which can now offer people in the Arab region a place to communicate and share their ideas. This combined effort will create communities, providing people with an easy to way to contribute content, photos, thoughts and ideas through a network of blogs.

Every blog developed with the Arabic blogging tool will highlight the groups, individuals and news that advance freedom and democracy in Iraq. Each blog will therefore spread information encouraging freedom in the region and will make it easier for the supporters of democracy to exchange information and work together.

Now, this is an incredible example of the 'true' power of blogs.
