Byte by Byte, Post by Post, Learning from Andrew Sullivan and Undermining the Dictatorship

Six places from Andrew Sullivan.

In the list of the 25 Best Blogs of 2009, drawn up by Time Magazine and CNN, there are several elements that fill me with pride. Generacion Y is the only blog on the list in Spanish, the same language that some believe incapable of adapting to the pace of technology and modernity. I am, among the other twenty-four bloggers, the one with the fewest hours of access to the internet--of this I have no doubt. To make matters worse, I work under the peculiar condition of creating a blog I cannot see, the fault of the wicked filters imposed by censorship.

Andrew Sullivan, who has become a guru for those of us on the Blogger Journey, is in fifth place with his blog, The Daily Dish. He doesn't imagine that every week a group of Cubans evoke his article, Why I Blog, taking his work as a compass. After nearly two months of these weekly meetings we know, at least, that the route to begin to comment does not travel backwards, that the wall of control can be knocked down in one go, or undermined byte by byte, post by post.

Yoani's Blog, Generation Y, was just named one of the 25 Best Blogs of 2009 by Time Magazine. It can be read in English Translation here.
