Can what's going on in Iran be considered a long-delayed counter-revolution to the fundamentalist Islamic revolution of the 70s? Or is that just wishful thinking?
Twitter has proved to be very important in getting word to the outside about what's happening in Iran. So much so, that they were asked by the US Govt. to delay maintenance on their site so Iranian's wouldn't be cut off from the service.
From Reuters: U.S. State Department speaks to Twitter over Iran
Twitter has a comment about it on their blog.
Here's an idea from the Twitterstream:
doctorowRT @johannes_mono Change your Twitter settings to GMT +03:30 Tehran as your timezone & change home city to Tehran to confuse Iranian censors
I may do this, just so I can say I participated!
Update (6/17/2009):
Follow IranRiggedElect on Twitter for updates from Iran.
Example of Courage!
