Soldier Blogs
LONDON, March 26 (Reuters) - There's a new breed of combat personnel at the war front: soldier "bloggers".
Once the narrow domain of geeks and technology journalists, "Web logs" -- or diary accounts published online -- have gone mainstream, making it possible for even soldiers to transmit daily updates to Web sites about the rigours of battle.
War-themed blogs, appearing on sites such as www.blogsofwar.com and www.sgtstryker.com, have become a popular alternative news source since fighting broke out in Iraq a week ago, sometimes beating newspapers and television with war developments. [Reuters AlertNet]
I checked out a few of these. Pretty neat I say, I like know from both the sides.
