Free Burma banner by free-burma.org
Bloggers all over the world protest the supression of the Democracy move in Burma by NOT blogging.
Bloggers are making news by not blogging.
Initiated by free-burma.org, bloggers from all over the world supported the Democracy move in Burma by not blogging and putting a banner and a line "Free Burma" as a post.
The Free Burma! website is created by Philipp Hausser with technical help from Christian Hahn. "The Free Burma! website is based on the idea of an International Blogger Day by Robert Basic, Dario Salvelli and many others...", The website says.
The website received more than 20,000 visitor on the first half of October 4th, the official "Free Burma Day" declared by the website.
According to free-burma.org, the first post about the initiative was Caledosphere.
CJReport supported the move and included a banner on its frontpage.

Heard that bloggers all over the world not writing today to show their solidarity with the movement against the junta.
Divas was one of early supporter of the movement, and had written to the BBC and other news media about the world’s hypocrisy toward Burma.
However, protesting by shutting down, or pen down, or blogging down,…seems weird.
Why not bloggers all over the world write for the same concerned cause?
Wouldn’t that be more creative??
