Shakomako

Here's Iraq's "first electronic magazine." Shakomako.net is a youth-oriented, English-language site full of soccer, music, imported movies, politics (more or less in that order), and attitude. There's all sorts of stuff here, including an essay by a diaspora Iraqi who fears the rise of Iraqi consumerism. Some of the writers live outside Iraq, but most seem to be in the country. The site offers a sample, at least, of the youth scene developing in Baghdad.
