And maybe they don't have comments box because they don't want, or don't care, to know what their readers think. I really hope that’s about to change due to Global Voices and similar groups, but I believe there’s still a long way to go…

And maybe they don’t have comments box because they don’t want, or don’t care, to know what their readers think.

I’m afraid a lot of Brazilian digital citizens don’t have a clue about the “existence” of the blogosphere, what to say about what the blogs are saying (and what news they’re breaking)…

They only respect bloggers when it suits them, as they know most bloggers will love and cherish them anyway. :) Best, D.D.

Hello all

I’d like to say that Folha de São Paulo, considered the most important Brazilian paper, has “broken” the news a few hours ago (Wednesday, 09:16 Brazilian time, around 3 hours ago), however, they have forgotten to mention where the information came from, they haven’t added anything to what bloggers have already discovered and they didn’t mention the blogosphere protests:

http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/brasil/ult96u422795.shtml

And again they didn’t bring anything new at all… how disappointing…

I should have provided this info in the article, but here it is. I used an online currency converter:

Giovani had actually spotted a little mistake, which I fixed earlier – I had forgotten to “translate” the numbers in one of the quotes, so it had the $ symbol but value in Reais, :)

So the R$40.000,00 translates as approximately USD30.000,00. Best, D.D. Hello All,

there’s a little currency issue here. 1 USD is not worth 2.50 Brazilian Reais. 2.50 is the average exchange rate between EUROs and Reais. 1 USD is worth approximately 1.55 Reais, and the exchange rates are changing quickly.

So the R$40.000,00 translates as approximately USD30.000,00.
