World Wide Web surfers from around the globe are glued to their computers, consuming news, watching YouTube videos and reading -- as well as writing -- political blogs, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
"The Internet makes the world smaller, just a few clicks away, right?" Amira Al Hussaini, a Bahrain native and editor of foreign blog aggregator Voices Without Votes, told the Post. "Americans can see, if they don't realize it already, that their votes affect the rest of us when it comes to foreign policy, the environment, the global market, you name it."
"It's official. This U.S. election matters to me more than it should," Filipino blogger Martin Perez wrote on his 2-year-old blog, "Ako Mismo," or "I, Myself" in Tagalog. He told the Post that following the White House race for him has been "like a religion."
