The Revolution will (Not) be Tweeted, Blogged and Emailed

In the USSR, the dissenters used the "samizdat press". In China 1989, the revolutionary communication channel was the fax. This time #Iranelection has made this a tweeted revolution, in addition to blogs, emails, and videos posted online. The repressive regime knows it and is stamping out the lines of dissident communication. Recent Tweet:

State-side, the tweet-updates continue:
