Iran:Iranian bloggers as pollsters

Categories: Middle East & North Africa, Iran, Digital Activism, Ideas

Jordan shares in Sounds Iranian blog, the idea that it is possible to use bloggers as pollsters [1]. The blogger says I think the idea behind this sort of ‘on-the-street’ methodology is to use the blogosphere to provide a more accurate sampling of the (urban) Iranian population as a whole, rather than to procure a sample derived only from a very narrow blog-reading demographic.
