I know. There are so many quality blogs out there that it’s hard to find the time to read them all. Life does not always enable me to stay on top of my RSS feeds or to take a quest to discover undiscovered blogs.
But no matter how busy my day may be, there is one site that I always make room for (and I suggest you do too): Global Voices.
Global Voices Online is a captivating collection of blogs that promote awareness about the state of political, human and other social affairs in countries from across the world. So grab a cup of coffee (or tea), sit back and get re-acquainted with the world – one voice at a time.

Bangladesh: Bloggers protest internet user profiling
It all started when an exclusive report from E-Bangladesh exposed a memo of Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) which instructed 72 Internet Service Providers (ISP) of Bangladesh to submit their individual client details and their usage details. E-Bangladesh also revealed that raids have been carried out in innocent individual users’ houses, as a part of the ongoing illegal VOIP operators busting assignment.
Blogger flees Uganda after threats
Ugandan blogger and radio personality Dennis Matanda’s provocative opinions on African culture, Idi Amin and recolonization have been covered on Global Voices before. Dennis caused another stir last month when he posted on his blog under the title “How to Be Dead.” The post chronicled the radio show, ensuing threats and frightening act of vandalism leading up to his flight from Uganda, a decision met with a mixture of support, bemusement and skepticism by his fellow blogren.
