Bloggers and internet publishing in Indonesia gained new legitimacy Saturday when Communications and Information Minister Muhammad Nuh declared Oct. 27 National Bloggers Day.
The announcement was made at Pesta Blogger (blogger party) 2007, Indonesia’s first large meeting of bloggers, which around 500 people attended.
"I can see today the Indonesian blogger community is developing the use of IT facilities and filling information gaps in the country with blogging," the former rector of East Java’s November 10 Institute of Technology said.
He said the gathering and blogging were both "revolutionary" and deserved support.
"Blogs can be educational, empowering and enlightening. That’s why I can guarantee you curbing blogs will never happen in this country," said Nuh.
