A look at your suggestions on the blogosphere today:WHo's blogging SuperPower Nation?

Thanks to Dunesh Wagle, Umesh , Kimberley Donoghue, sandeepa or BongMom, Fausta Wertz for getting in touch to suggest blogs. Most of these blogs have been discussing SuperPower Nation and this new global conversation experiment.

Today's round up takes to Puerto Rico, Nepal, Spain and India and the subjects vary from Nepali restaurants in Delhi to Puerto Rican governments budget and yes of course SuperPower Nation.

In Wagle Street Journal, Dinesh Wagle discusses the lack of Nepali restaurants in Delhi despite the fact that there are five hundred thousands Nepalis living and working there. Many of whom , ironically enough, work as chefs and cooks in hotels and restaurants.

Sloyka's blog,Maysanar, is in Nepali. He emailed to suggest the blog and say that he did write about SuperPower Nation. I did try Google translate to have an idea of what he's about the event but Google Translate doesn't translate for Nepali to English yet.

Kimberley Donoghue, is the editor of "La Colmena Virtual" based in Barcelona. The blog is in Spanish but with the magic of Google Translate I'm able to tell you what they said about SuperPower Nation.

Today the citizens of the world are participating in a great conversation - a global conversation. Organized by the BBC, the idea is that the Internet is a superpower that has changed and will change the way we communicate.

Fausta's Blog is run by Fausta Werts from Puerto Rico. Today he's discussing, Puerto Rico's budget, and the statehood proposal on SuperPower Nation.

Now, to India and Bong Mom's food blog. Today's offering is eggplant coated in a batter of chickpea flour and deep fried, yum!

We're still on for the next hour and a half do send tell us what bloggers in your country are talking about today. E-mail us on super.power@bbc.co.uk

I'll be blogging live all through SuperPower Nation and will be updating you about what the bloggers here at Shoreditch Town Hall and in different parts of the world are saying about the event.

If you want to take part in SuperPower Nation and tell us what you or bloggers in your country are talking about. Here's how you can get in touch; e-mail us on super.power@bbc.co.uk.

It's an attempt to find out what the world is really talking about with the help of the internet and without language being a barrier. There will be no specific debates, issues or questions. The idea is to let the conversation flow naturally with the audience taking full control.

Blogworld will be there and we'll be doing a live blog on the day and monitoring what the blogosphere is saying about the event that day but also what subjects are proving popular on different blogs around the world.

So watch this space and tell us if you're taking part in SuperPower Nation on the 18th and blogging about it. Also let us know if you're blogging on something else that day. What subjects are catching people's attention where you live?

This is a picture of the SuperPower Nation venue at Shoreditch, East London.

Drid Williams is a fan of Iditarod. It's a sled dog race that happens once a year in Alaska; a uniquely American event as Drid describes it. Drid hasn't recommended any particular blogs but said there are many out there. Snowhook Kennel is one of them. Justin and Rebecca Savidis moved from Utah to Alaska in 2004 hoping to start a sled dog Kennel, train as mushers and to both qualify for and race in the 2010 Iditarod.

David Jackmanson got in touch through Twitter to suggest The Piping Shrike; a blog that provides an insight into Australian politics. In this post, The Piping Striker blogs about what he/she describes as the lack of substance in political media coverage in Australia.

John Clarke suggested his own blog. A Slow Boat to Fiji chronicles his trip across the Atlantic in 1969 when he was working on a cargo ship. John kept a journal at the time and has gone back to it remembering how things felt like back then but also comparing events to his life now as a man in his forties with a job and family. In this post John describes his first day on the ship before they even set sail.

Listen to the audio clip Sokari has sent us. She speaks more about her blog and the community it has created. She also tells us about the difficulties she's faced through years of discussing some of the most controversial issues in Africa.

The blog Bankelele is run by a Kenyan banker who provides an insight into the country's economy. In this post Bankelele gives all you business enthusiasts an update on Kenyan companies' share portfolio for 2010. In the post pictured below Bankelele discussed bad driving in Kenya.

In her blog Ana the Imp, Anastasia Fitzgerald-Beaumont blogs about history, politics and Art check out her post about Sculptor Henry Moore. Asiya Noor lives in Mozambique. She's converted to Islam and has started blogging about her experiences with the faith. In this post she discusses the problem of Masjids or Mosque owners who use them as a platform to preach their personal version of Islam.

Chris Richardson (whose blog we featured yesterday) suggested Lars Bevanger's blog Hard to be Green. Lars explores what it means practically and financially to be 100 % environmentally friendly. In this post, Lars is very proud of switching to 100% green electricity.

We're still on next week and are talking about how we can keep Blogworld going for longer. So still need all the blog suggestions you can get through to us.

According to Carina Rodriguez Sciutto, she started her blog Sao Paulo Shots to share her city with the world. In this post she features photos of a tram journey in Santa Teresa.

Lars Bevanger says Chris Richardson's blog, My Year With Islam, is his favourite at the moment. Chris Richardson is Christian but not religious. He's decided to live 2010 according to Islamic teachings. In this post Chris blogs about his first ever Friday Prayers experience.

Alec Yeh is an American gap-year student currently in Senegal. He started this blog to chronicle his experience there. In this post, he marvels at the Senegalese TV culture. (I've emailed Alec to find out the translation to the title of his blog when he gets back to me I'll update you)

Robert Battison's blog, Debate It, reminds me a bit of the BBC World Service's World Have Your Say. In this very short post , Robert poses a questions to all the law abiding citizens of the world.

And finally, Marilyn's blog Californie en Français is exactly that;California in French. Marylin is a Californian who decided to write about the sunny state in French. Why? Well this is what she told us in her email suggesting the blog.

"Californie en francais" features blog posts about California, written in French by a Francophile (me) who wants to practice her French language skills and bridge some borders at the same time. I was shocked, several years ago, to discover that the U.S. had pulled funding for its cultural center in Paris. So, in 2006, I jumped in and decided to take an individual approach to cultural sharing and collaboration.

The best way to describe my blog is that scene for Seinfeld (the New York based 1990's sitcom), where George tells Jerry it's a 'show about nothing...' My blog is about nothing in particular, yet, it has something to say.

Some blogs are about pure politics, poetry or even funny aspects of life. I literally write about anything and everything. Hence the name of my blog :People and The World (الناس و العالم ).

The video on this post features a glimpse of Cairo.

I think blogging will remain vital and important even with the presence of Facebook and Twitter. Facebook remains very limited. Yes, it is faster interaction, but still limited compared to blogging , and tweetting is too brief. I only follow Facebook and Twiter closely if a fellow blogger hes been arrested or if a blogger is somewhere and updating us about a real live scene, but I don't think it can replace blogging at all.

In general, blogging has created a wave of openness between people living in the same country, also towards different cultures and countries. I am quite confident that blogging is a strong pillar of non official media . I think it's even more effective than conventional journalism sometimes.

Listen to Hafsa's audio below. She tells us who inspired her to blog, what she wants to see happen with Arab blogs in the future and why she doesn't think about the readers when she writes.

I wandered into blogging in 2003 - simply signed up because it was free. As I started reading other blogs, suddenly my world expanded with a bang. The journey has been that unplanned ever since. Along the way I finished my formal education, acquired a husband and child and in-laws and lost my best friends to foreign lands.

As I tried to make sense of my increasingly bewildering life, blogging helped. The mommy bloggers came out in full force when I needed help figuring out this mothering business - the village that's raising my kid? Half of them do it online - and I got unexpected empathy and kindly advice from blogging friends when my husband and I went through rough times. I think my support group really fell into place during our big online baby shower. 70 odd bloggers from across the globe bonded hugely while organising an online surprise party (complete with a treasure hunt) for some expectant friends.

I don't know why I blog. I shifted seamlessly from my leather-bound journal to my online blog and I've tried to maintain the honesty that I gave my diary. It's not easy, especially when large sections of my family and almost all my friends began reading Sunny Days. Suddenly I was no longer writing to a void. Suddenly I was writing for people I knew and people who I knew I was to know soon, given Facebook and the small circles bloggers move in. I promptly dealt with this by imposing a ban on blog-related conversation offline.

Mostly, I write because I enjoy the interaction. But I also write posts that are only for me and get no comments. Mostly, I write because I want to record these years of my life. Yet I jot down bare outlines rather than full details. Mostly, I write about my husband and son. Yet I'm not a mommy blogger or indeed any other kind of specialist. If anything I'm the simplest kind of blogger there is, posting about what interests me, interspersed with accounts of my life, just like the diarists/scrapbook keepers of yore.

What I love about blogging is its ability to multi-task - I'm simultaneously reaching out to my family and friends scattered across the globe, striking up conversations with interesting strangers and also recording memorable moments. As far as I'm concerned Twitter doesn't begin to scratch the surface of all that blogging can do.

I don't know whether blogging has been good for my society in general but it has certainly been good for me. I'm what would be classified as your average Indian middle class urban working mother and I like showing how fragile these stereotypes are, through my blog. Now, like six years ago, I'm still figuring the rules as I go, but the journey's never bored me yet.

Ingrid Zimmermann suggested a blog run by Jens Anders Wejsmark Sorensen... a Danish journalist living in Amsterdam; A'damblog is about his experiences during his first year of living in Amsterdam.

Jeff Morey has been following the travels of Umberto D on Traveler Film Blog. Take a look at some great pictures of Umberto's trip to Alexandria- Egypt here.

Wael Al Mahdi and Dori Sig suggested their own blogs. Wael is a blogger from Bahrain, his blog is called The Granite. This post is about a roadtrip from Bahrain to Dubai passing through Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Dori Sig's blog title Iceland Banking Crisis News and More says it all. This post and many others chronicle the reaction of Iceland's public to the Icesave agreement.

We got in touch with her a few weeks back mainly to ask her to tell us what her blog is about.

Iraq Pundit is a blogger in Baghdad who wishes to remain anonymous. We contacted him/her a week or so ago and asked for a guest post on Blogworld about the Iraqi elections so here it is:

Everyone has had something to say about these Iraqi elections. Indeed, they've been referred to as a key test of Iraq 's nascent democracy - another in an ongoing series of such tests, it seems. There are those who see the process as good, such as Tunku Varadarajan in the Wall Street Journal " Iraq 's newborn democracy is a juggernaut that will not be stopped."

Some see it as bad, such as NBC's Tamer El Ghobashy who says a truly inclusive democratic process has yet to emerge. And there are those who see the process as ugly, such as Trudy Rubin of the Phil Inquirer, who says that Iraq is just not a democracy.

Now at last the Iraqi people have had a chance to have their say, too. At least, Iraqis have their say where it most matters, at the country's ballot boxes. It's easy enough for media visitors to Iraq , like the New York Times' Anthony Shadid, to pass judgment. He writes, "To call Iraq a failed state is an exaggeration, though not unthinkable."

Such so-called experts exasperate many Iraqis because they pronounce as if they know the future of this land. Yet they have no idea what will happen here, as so many of them have demonstrated in recent years. Many observers have based their vehement arguments on an assumption that Iraqis are an exceptionally violent people determined to kill each other over sect and ethnicity as well as politics.

You'd think that by now these pessimists would have learned a lesson about caution. Those who had argued so vociferously that Iraq was doomed all along have had to hedge their darker prophecies.Those who said Iraq was no good are now saying that, well, it's not altogether horrible, or even that it's a little bit good. Even those who insisted that the surge would fail now admit that it worked.

Had the experts not looked down upon the Iraqi people, they might even agree with Fouad Ajami who wrote in the WSJ that Yes, Iraq is a democracy. To Iraq 's critics he says "Leave it to the Egyptians and the Arabs of the Peninsula and the Persian Gulf to belittle the new order in Iraq .

They threw everything at it but it managed to survive. Peace has not settled upon Baghdad , but this Iraq , even in its current condition, is a rebuke to the dynasties and the dictatorships of the Arab world." And I would add, to the cynical pessimists of the Western press.Iraq has some tough days ahead. Nobody is saying its ideal here. But give the Iraqi people a chance. Get over it, guys. Iraq 's a democracy.

Why are people making other people lives difficult? Why when a girl wants to do something and go somewhere, she should seek different levels of approval! She has many layers to consider when she wants to do something or take a simple decision:
1. Herself
2. Her parents/husband/guardian
3. Her grand family
4. Her society

In I Care, Ahmad, a Mechanical Engineering student blogs in English and Arabic. In the post below he blogs about common courtesies in Doha.

I'm writing this post while in class, pretending to be taking notes. I needed to write something before the idea cools off. As I was running to class, a Qatari girl was walking behind me. I open the door to enter the building and hold it open for few seconds for her to enter. Guess what happened to me for the 3rd time this week? She did NOT say thank you or even gesture it in anyway! This happened to me several times before. I just don't understand why is it so hard to thank people who do you a little polite thing.

In Mimiz words, Maryam blogs about the inevitable cultural gap between local Qataris and the expat communities in Doha.

We hear many Qataris say "They don't respect our traditions; They have more privileges than us; How come they have higher salaries than Qataris? Crime and disease spread because of the large number of foreigners! Qatar has become too crowded ..." While foreigner say "Qataris are lazy they never work; They take everything for granted; Qataris are aggressive and not friendly at all; They are all spoilt, rich people; They are so closed minded and difficult to deal with".
