The Revolution Will Be Twitterised/YouTubed/Flickred/Blogged


I am ecstatic to see that websites with user-generated content are recognizing the imperative role they play in perilous times. Iran's government can try to contain the havoc by blocking Facebook and text messaging, but the voices of people's discontentment will persevere via computer geeks and anyone growing up as AOL rabidly sent software with 30-day free trials to every home.

I've been feverisly following the Iran's post-election coverage through all the possible outlets. It's insane. I wish I knew what the student protesters of Tienanmen Square are thinking about all this.
