Zimbabweans use blogs, text messages for info
The photographs of the tortured body of an opposition official are blurry but chilling.
Posted on the 'This is Zimbabwe' blog, they show charred, lacerated limbs and blank eyes staring out from the face of the official, Gift Mutsvungunu, frozen in a death grimace. A note accompanying the pictures says the picture quality is bad because the photographer was shaking with fear.
Increasingly, Zimbabweans are going online and using cell phone text messages to share stories of life and death in a country where independent traditional media have been all but silenced, and from which reporters from most international media have been barred.

Unlike McCain, many seniors depend on the Web
If Sen. John McCain is really serious about becoming a Web-savvy citizen, perhaps Kathryn Robinson can help.
Robinson is now 106 _ that's 35 years older than McCain _ and she began using the Internet at 98, at the Barclay Friends home in West Chester, Pa., where she lives. 'I started to learn because I wanted to e-mail my family,' she says _ in an e-mail message, naturally.
Blogs have been buzzing recently over McCain's admission that when it comes to the Internet, 'I'm an illiterate who has to rely on his wife for any assistance he can get.' And the 71-year-old presumptive Republican nominee, asked about his Web use last week by the New York Times, said that aides 'go on for me. I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself.'
