I can’t imagine any readers of this site not being interested in the content of Antony Loewenstein’s “The Blogging Revolution,” a book about bloggers who live and blog under authoritarian regimes.

It’s relevant to many of us blogging at this site. Antony has long been one of my favorite bloggers, mostly because he has guts. If he has something to say he’ll say it regardless of whether or not the majority would agree with him.

In this podcast we discuss the following:

  • Introduction of the book and why it was written
  • Countries he traveled to in order to conduct the interviews/studies behind the book
  • Western multinationals such as Yahoo, Google, etc and their occassional role in state censorship or activist crackdowns
  • The future of the internet and where blogging is headed
  • Victims of the blogging revolution
  • And a few other things in between. I hope that you will enjoy this podcast and find it useful, I encourage you to get the book.

      Not having a budget can ruin your plans to get out of debt. If you’re not already in debt, the lack of a budget will get you there. In the basic sense, a budget is just a plan for saving and spending your money.

      Why is budgeting so important for debt management?

      Imagine taking a roadtrip across the country without a map or compass. Sure, you might get there after many detours, turn-arounds, and delays. Or you could get a roadmap, map out your trip, and get there with a lot less trouble.

      It’s the same way with managing debt. You could successfully get out of debt without a budget, but how long would it take and how much would it cost you. Instead, living out a budget will make getting out of debt much easier.

      A budget will help you figure out exactly how much you can afford to spend to get out of debt. Not only that, it helps you figure out where to squeeze more money from your debt.

      Once your debt’s paid off, a budget can help you keep your finances on track to prevent you from getting back into debt. A budget will help keep your spending under control so you don’t have to rely on debt to make ends meet.

      P.S. Yahoo – everything will be found! Google: nothing was really lost…
