I don’t know what else to say. All day while doing my normal thing I have been seeing and reading Twitter messages about Iran’s elections. I know this is a big story, a very big story. But somehow it feels even bigger because I can directly interact with the people fighting for their freedom. Not only that, but there have been lots of tweets going around sharing information, like IP addresses to use to get around government blocks and cheering these people on as they get tired.

I know that I am not there fighting and risking my life, but the incredible interactivity of Twitter has let me help others a world away by passing on messages and information. That is just amazing.
