Omar Bilal Akhtar, Tribune, I support the internet bans, 28 June 2010 "If we have started doing it now, it’s simply because of the onslaught of western liberal technology that has destroyed our morals and forced us, for the first time, to view our women as sexual objects.

Twitter trends
Matt Silverman, Mashable, 5 Terrific Tools for Keeping Tabs on Twitter Trends, 15 June 2010
This is a useful article. It discusses Trendistic, Twopular, Tweetvolume, PicFog and bitly.tv. I'm considering how to integrate these and some other tools into my research, especially in relation to trending topics. The first three are the most relevant at present. I've also been looking at Bing's trending topics.

Report: ONI, Sex, Social Mores, and Keyword Filtering: Microsoft Bing in the "Arabian Countries"
AFP, Bing blocks online sex searches in Middle East: study, 6 Mar 2010 "The Open Net Initiative (ONI) on Friday said Microsoft's search engine Bing is more prudish than government censors when it comes to sex-related online queries.
"A January test of a Bing version tailored for users in Arab countries showed that it filtered Arabic and English words for sexually explicit content along with queries related to gay, lesbian, bi-sexual or transgender material."
Here's the report page:
