Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society has released a study of 35,000 arabic-language blogs, 6,000 of which it arranged visually into a colorful bubble map.

The center found the bloggers to be predominantly young and male, politically minded, and critical of both terrorism and the United States.

Earlier this year, MHT reported on the Cambridge-based Internet startup Yamli,which is tackling the challenge of building an Arabic search engine.
