Iranian Election Protest Twitters



Now I'm pretty much opinionless on Twitter, but I think this is an excellent use of it. All major websites like Twitter are currently blocked in Iran, but there are some people (mostly students) who are getting around the filters.

Here's a list of Tweets that are updating regularly, list stolen from someone on FARK.

Some of these haven't been updated a while, and I can only express my deepest concern that they are alright. I would encourage the protesters to keep fighting for their rights, even though the outlook looks grim, and they're braver than I am for what they are doing.

Depending on what else I stumble upon in the next few days, there may be more info about the protests here. Or, I may just go back to my regular sophmoric posts devoid of any actual point.
