Link? Or is that on TV? And if it's on TV is it live?

Previous reports said Gori was abandoned according to on the ground witnesses, but if someone is there on the ground and saying Russia has taken the city...

But the server for the webcam is still working.

I could not find any other webcam, and that is another strange thing.

A modern country, with so much ties to the west and trying to have even more, and where are the local blogs, the webcams, people from Georgia discussing the situation on forums, etc.

Aren't there any young , Internet savvy, people in Georgia that could register on ATS, for example, and joins the discussion?

I am sure that they have many of those, but where are they?

This has looked strange since the beginning, and seeing that we still have access to Internet connected computers in Georgia makes it even more strange that nobody has appeared from there stating their point of view.

Sure does. I wouldn't be too suprised if Russia sets up a base there so they can ship more soldiers in and equipment. But I dunno... Man theres just so many twists and turns in this conflict

I found that crazy also, I searched for webcams day 1 of this thing and I am still looking. I also searched for blogs... nope. Maybe they'd be in a different language and google cant pick it up??

If you noticed, many pages appear that are only written in Georgian, even in their own alphabet, but they still appear on Google if they have the words "blog" or "webcam" written anywhere.

While looking for webcams I found some sites that looked like Internet-cafes and computer shops, why don't they use those?

Strange...
