[Air-L] information about burma/myanmar social networks

[Donald Matheson]

This is probably too obvious, but what springs to mind for me is the  
Democratic Voice of Burma, based in Norway.

Richard Ehrlich makes a good case for blogs being instrumental in  
bearing witness to the crackdown in 2007:

Ehrlich, R. S. (2007) Myanmar's blogs of bloodshed. Asian Times  
Online, 29 September. Available at http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Southeast_Asia/II29Ae02.html 
.

Cheers,

Donald
