Throughout these days there is this debate about the Iranian elections. Twitter' role into that has been amazingly helpful...Iranian people are informing the rest of the world throughout small txt messages from twitter. The interesting part is that twitter can't be censored like google, yahoo or facebook can. Even if you block twitter.com, people can still receive updates throughout the twitter clients. This is a massively powerful platform for people that want to bypass dictatorship like censorship measures.
Hopefully the situation in Iran gets better rather than worse...Up until then and until the next situation like Iran's one, I can't but applaud the fact that the Internet is getting more and more difficult to suppress and censor and that people still find ways to bypass censorship.
