I have a feeling that in Jordan no matter how open bloggers get in their expression of opinions, there is a lot of holding back. As if bloggers have set self imposed red lines that they do not cross...even though crossing them is of the essence if one is to be fairly critical and to practice true freedom of speech. Age seems to have a huge impact on the familiarity with blogs and ability to blog. It seems that there is an age bracket where most bloggers are concentrated. Last but not least, I am super amazed at how many people here in Jordan still do not know what a blog is. Excellent topic.
