Listening to Global Voices
By Virginia Prescott on Wednesday, July 16, 2008.

Our main goal on Word of Mouth is to try to find the stories that you may not get to hear anywhere else – to capture and curate the bits of information that zip around the Internet every day, and to present a broader picture of the world we live in.
That’s why we were thrilled when a listener sent us a link to Global Voices Online, a website with a mission not dissimilar from our own. The writers and editors at Global Voices keep track of what’s happening in the blogosphere all around the world. Whether people are Twittering about politics in Nicaragua or writing about poetry in the Sahara, the curators at Global Voices are paying attention. They tap into online communities large and small, and present us with a picture of what people are buzzing about across the globe.
Deborah Dilley is a digest editor and author for Global Voices, and she joins us on the show to review some of the stories circulating online.
Deborah will fill us in on:
