Scope
The broad usage of weblogs in Iran was staggering. As of 2004, the NITLE blog census found the number of blogs in Persian to surpass 64,000. Some believe that the nature of these blogs have been exaggerated, in that they only represent the upper and upper middle class. Due however to the nature of the education system in Iran, larger amounts of lower-class people have access to education and therefore new technologies, computers and the internet as a whole. There are more Iranian blogs than there are Spanish, German, Italian, Chinese, or Russian blogs. It has by far the largest amount of bloggers of any country in the region. Nearly 38% of the population regularly accesses the internet.
