Uncertain political conditions in the Middle East have long made it difficult for people to communicate and share ideas in the nation of Iraq. Ethnic and religious differences have long peppered political discourse as well. While many of these issues have also made it onto the fledgling Iraqi blogosphere, more sites that carry Iraq blog posts are actually moving to major platforms as a way to encourage civil and interesting discussion among people.
Unicode technology allows a Web developer to support almost any language that they want to. New text encoding solutions can help Iraqi bloggers who speak minority dialects to share their thoughts with the rest of the Internet. Even many types of religious symbols can now be encoded as characters. Those who post downloads on their blogs can usually use these characters in the file name as well. By moving toward major blog platforms, Iraqi bloggers are bringing the benefits of this kind of technology to the masses.
