For the last few days I have carefully observed Georgian bloggers. Their number is boosting day by day and keeping an eye on all of them is a little bit hard task. In addition to blogs the events of interest are being on through social networks. Facebook enjoys the highest popularity rating at our side, now Twitter is being picked up. In short below please find the review of two interesting blogs, from my personal point of view, and the most important social network events of the last few days. From now on Media.ge will be offering the reviews of the kind.

Mini Culture Shock

"На Черном море вербуют блоггеров" (bloggers won over at the Black Sea) - scandalously titled article published last week in a trilingual online edition Georgia Times (http://www.georgiatimes.info). Don't mix it up with the Georgian weekly the Georgian Times. "Radio, TV and print media are almost fully subordinated to the authorities.

 

I am doing this record in Ambrolauri. That's the third day of my stay in Racha, have visited Oni too. The goal of my arrival in Racha is to find out what means of media exist here and which of them are accessible to the locals. I am going to write an article about it later but right now I want to portray a general situation here.

On April 16 I was attending the conference on Internet television. A world famous blogger Vendi Cheng and Gillian Tan, Director, Clicknetwork.tv arrived from Singapore specially for the day.

შაბათს, საღამოს, მეგობარ ბლოგერებთან ერთად, რუსთაველის თეატრში  სპექტაკლს „შობის მეთორმეტე ღამეს" ვესწრებოდი.  უცებ უკანა რიგებში   ჩოჩქოლი ატყდა. ვისაც კი ტელეფონი ჩართული ჰქონდა, ახლობლები ურეკავდნენ.

„რუსები მოდიან, უკვე თბილისთან არიან!"
„სტარტეგიული ობიექტები იბომბება!"
„მთავრობა და პრეზიდენტი ევაკუირებულია!"
„პრეზიდენტი მოკლეს!"

რა ვქნა, მეგობრებო? „რეალ ტვ" თავს არ მანებებს და კვლავ  წერის „იშტაზე" მოვყავარ.

იკითხავთ, ამჯერად ისეთი რა გაუშვა, რაც აქამდე არ გაუშვიაო. გაუშვა, თანაც... როგორც ჩემმა  კოლეგამ ირონიულად შენიშნა: „სულ წითლად და სულ ბოლშევიკურ ფერებში."

ჩვენს კოლეგაზე, ვახტანგ კომახიძეზე გასულ სიუჟეტზე მოგახსენებთ.

For a few days I was digging in the Real TV video archive and watched almost all TV stories and programmes. Don’t consider me as a masochist, it’s just my duty I force myself a bit to do.

Few days ago I joined a new Facebook group with an intriguing title "The ones having never visited whores." Few hours later the number of group fans topped 100, including journalists, politicians, scientists... I am not aware of everyone's occupation and I can't be sure whether they have ever visited whores. It should not be of much interest to the blog readers either. The main thing is that you can easily talk to anyone any time over some serious or less serious issues.
