Even though this is quite the Pro-Ahmadinejad read (the author could be less subtle), it was a good read, specially combined with the post directly above this one.
One of the reasons I like this comm, it can offer different views on one issue.
I'm writing my thesis paper, and my topic is Blogging and Social Media as a Tool and Catalyst of Political Change (or something like that anyway), so I'm writing about the Iranian election and its aftermath and the way events on the ground were conveyed through social networking sites, and in my reading I came across this article and thought, wait, what? So I had to post it here to see what you lot thought, because it's an opinion piece that clashes violently with most of the things I've read so far. But it's a great read, I have to agree with you there.
Does it ever! I was doubly surprised because I first checked out the author's name before reading it, and I thought the content would be something completely different.
ugh please don't write TWITTER HELPED THE IRANIAN REVOLUTION~~~
Almost everyone I met in protests in Iran had no idea wtf twitter was, the internet was slowed down significantly in the days prior to protests anyway~ they did know what text messaging and phones were though.
