Reposting from cluegirl, cause what the hell else can I do?
If you use Twitter, set your location to Tehran & your time zone to GMT +3.30. Iranian security forces are hunting for bloggers using location/timezone searches. The more people at this location, the more of a logjam it creates for forces trying to shut down Iranians' access to the internet. Cut & paste & pass it on.
I cannot vouch for the veracity, or un of this notion, but I can say that for those of you Twitts out there who want to show some measure of solidarity to people struggling for their lives and freedoms so very far away, you could do many a worse show of sympathy. And if it helps to provide cover for some of those who are being hunted down and murdered in the name of 'order', then I'd say it's a karmically positive lie to tell as well. I do not Twitt myself, but I know there's many Twitts on my flist, so la; Let it be as you decide.
