The Iran election tweets are making Twitter interesting
 

This is the first time I think that I have seen Twitter actually earning its new found status in the internet community. If you are on Twitter and have any interest in world events check out the #iranelection tweet page.

I may even go as far as saying this might actually 'make' Twitter globally as a real tool rather than just celebrity following.

I read yesterday that students and admin at the University of Toronto were the ones responsible for setting up proxy servers to keep things going in Iran.

I hate twitter, this makes it a little more interesting but still. Mark my word no one will be talking about twitter in a year or so.

Well, if for the moment it is allowing such voices to get out I could care less if people are talking about it a year from now. Today it is very interesting to listen to voices we very rarely hear.

They aren't the only ones.

No offence, but you are waaay off. Twitter will be bigger than ever in a year or so. Anyone who doesn't think so doesnt know twitter. It's real-time public email/im :2 cents: bookmarked for future reference in 365 days. :thumbsup

I am with you man. Twitter is an amazing too for harassing people power.

Twitter users please retweet this http://twitter.com/greenthumbnails in support of democracy in Iran.

And it being the voice of this will only make it more likely it will stick around. It actually became a news source rather than just a vanity project.

Communications like this will only serve as another feather in Twitter's cap

Rachel Maddow's show has been captioning her reports on twitter and Iran as "The Revolution Will Be Digitized."
