Googling at the Border
Hoder, the famous Iranian blogger, was refused entry in the United States after border patrol Googled his blog onsite and learned he was living in New York City. Farsi is the 4th most popular language used on blogs, so the title I gave him is no joke. But I'm glad at least that border patrol is competent enough to use the web effectively.

hmm...i was about to comment "what title?". Then I saw it. Titles for this type of post (the kind in between lines and generally without graphics) don't appear on the front page when I look at it (firefox 1.5, tiger). Only on the comments. The browse links in comment view is nice but going into comment view to see all the content isn't ideal - is there a way to get headlines on your minor stories?
And now I don't get your no-joke. What does "Googling at the Border" have to do with the popularity of farsi?
I think maybe the 'I' was a quote from the Iranian blogger?
the title I meant was "famous Iranian blogger."
Asides have titles, but they are not crucial so I choose not to put them on the main site.
hmm. i passed right over that without considering it. I guess I feel separated enough from the world of blogging that I never have a right to take issue with anyone's declaration of who the famous bloggers are. It's like if you said "famous german literary critic".
Are you referring to Herman Schmitter?
well, obviously apart from schmitter.
