As well as the hundreds of journalists
who are covering the Manama Dialogue this weekend, delegates to the Dialogue
are busily blogging the conference and giving their impressions on social
media. Ace American blogger Josh Rogin, who writes the Cable blog on Foreign
Policy’s website, is blogging prolifically and tweeting @joshrogin and
@FP_Magazine. Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt, a veteran of IISS Dialogues,
charted his progress on Twitter @carlbildt and in Swedish on his blog
from the OSCE Summit in Kazakhstan via Vienna and Istanbul to dinner at the
Dialogue. Leading Dubai thinker Sultan al-Qassemi @SultanAlQassemi live-tweeted
an al-Arabiya televised debate recorded at the Dialogue. Lara Setrakian
@LaraABCNews, who hosted a Bloomberg roundtable, was also active on Twitter.
