South Korean Presidential office's weblog

Chong Wa Dae (known as The Blue House,

the South Korean equivalent of The White House) has opened its own blog

as part of efforts to “facilitate communication with the people”

The Korea Times reports that the blog, named

“President’s Thoughts These Days,’’ was opened across three main blog providers,

on Naver, Daum and Paran on Jan, 2006 .

“We will try to get various information and news of the presidential office out to the Internet users through this Chong Wa Dae Blog, along with the official homepage of Chong Wa Dae,’’

These Weblogs have various bulletin boards: “president’s memo”, “photos on current affairs”, “netizen’s colum ” and etc.

President should know and pay attention about citizen’s opinion on his affairs, so I think it is one of good ways to know people’s opinion and suggestions.

And It will be very useful if they create weblog in English version for foreigners, to share people’s opinions from other countries.
