Armenian blogosphere female section: Woman bloggers march on:)

Since 2007 Armenian content internet, social networks and blogs mainly started actively “march on” – first being alternative source of information, platform for social discussions and productive place for social, political campaigns at last and in my personal opinion /of course if I have a right to express it here:)/ something more, even phenomena… That’s it… Just sharing some more information, in a case you’re interested in and want to know more… /Armenian blogosphere in 2007-2008/under the state of emergency here and here/, Armenian blogosphere during 2009, in Armenian, here, Armenian blog catalogs here, here and here
