It turns out, in Persian "Twitter" means "ex-dictator."*
You have to wonder if Ahmadinejad has checked out Twitter, and if he went through the whole "what the hell do I need with a site that lets me tell the world what I had for lunch" sorta thing we all went through. ...Ha-ha. What a dick.
Mousavi's on there (@mousavi1388), and on Facebook (//www.facebook.com/mousavi). He never responds to my Superpokes, but it's kind of cool, check it out. But beware: in volatile times we should avoid Facebook gestures that might be interpreted as hostile acts...please, no "Mafia Wars" challenges or throwing sheep. It will be delicate, the digital rapprochement of our peoples.
It's easy to overestimate the influence of all things Twitter/Facebook/Youtube on events in Iran, of course the battle is being fought on the streets by real people, not by icons and avatars in 1s and 0s.
But if you haven't checked out //twitter.com/#search?q=%23IranE... you're missing out on chilling real-time documentation of groundshaking events. Check that crazy shit out.

*An update: I had originally said in "Farsi" Twitter means "ex-dictator." A friendly fellow named Pejman pointed out that the correct term here is "Persian." Thanks, Pejman.

Speech...
by Flamencita on Wed Jul 01, 2009 12:43 PM PDTPoem from the Netherlands for Iran..
Never can imagine there are people like them..
Never saw these people..
Never heard these people...
Never lived in unfreedom..
Never saw such a heroes..
Never so a lott off praying..
Never so much hoped for freedom all over the world..
Never can imagine the sadness...
Never believed there are people more bad than animals..
Never corrupted in a discussion..
Never people said: keep your mouth...
Never have to choose for a religion...to dance...to dress...to speak...
Ever will be FREEDOM FOR IRAN!
