Twitter covered the riots in Iran pretty well. Gave those people a voice and us info.
There’s good and bad for everything.
Sarah Palin has made good use of Twitter.
The only reason I have a twitter account, and the only time I ever used it was during the ‘09 demonstrations in Iran. The idea at the time was to overwhelm the police state. Lots of Americans and pro-democracy Europeans (and others around the world) set their base as Tehran.
Otherwise, I have to admit to being totally clueless about twitter or why anyone would do it. For most of it, who cares? And why young people expose themselves so publicly is beyond me. On that score, I can’t believe stuff they put up at Facebook, either.
