Brazilian
President Opens Official
Blog
Rio de Janeiro -
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da
Silva opened his own official blog on
Monday.
The president's press office said the blog
is the president's effort to increase
communication with his people and it was
inspired by a strategy U.S. President Barack
Obama used in his 2008 presidential
campaign.
The office said the Brazilian population's
curiosity about the president's blog has
exceeded expectations, causing a server
crash which lasted most of Monday morning.
The number of simultaneous accesses to the
blog reached 10,000.
The blog will cover Lula's activities both
in words and in video clips. So far, the
blog has a video welcoming message, a video
interview for this week's "Breakfast with
the President" radio show, and information
on new regulations concerning the
exploration of Brazil's pre-salt oil and gas
reserves.
The blog's content will be written by three
journalists and its technical support is to
be provided by two technicians. |
