I have been away on vacation and pretty checked out for a week, but wanted to make you aware of some awesome live blogging of world events. Our Metblog colleagues in Islamabad have been live blogging the siege at a local mosque since the beginning. It is chilling to read. For a local perspective that is very different that what CNN or ABC or FOX news report, check out MB Islamabad.

Also, when breaking news does occur, see if local Metbloggers are covering it. To the right, just click on the world map for a list of our 52 cities. Personal first hand accounts of events playing out is much more interesting than what the mainstream media reports.
