In today’s Financial Times there is a terrific article in the commentary and analysis section entitled “Apostles of the Blogosphere” by Gideon Rachman. If you click on the headline above it will link you to the article on the Financial Times web site.

It is an interesting article that comments on how “bloggers are…….holding the Goliaths of the Media and the political world to account”, which was right on the mark. The article discusses how some world political figures are now using blogs including Sen. Hillary Clinton, Tory Party Leader David Miliband and President Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad of Iran.

Some of these political bloggers have been successful and others have not. A great example of what not to say on a blog was a posting by the Prime Minister of Hungary, Ferenc Gyurcsary, who “confessed to lying constantly to get elected; a revelation that prompted riots in Budapest.”

Imagine that, a Politian lying to get elected! Check it out; the article is a great read.
