Iran’s Twitter revolution
06-18-2009 | AFP
Panama Star LONDON. International media skirted the ban on reporting from the streets of Iran by using a flood of emails, and Twitter messages from people in the country.
"The revolution may not be televised in Iran, but it may well be tweeted," user 'kaplanmyrth' said.
Demand for user-generated content sites has been such, that the US State Department confessed it had contacted Twitter to urge it to delay a planned upgrade that would have cut daytime service to Iranians who are disputing their election.
