Twitter Changing the World????

Is anyone besides me amazed at what is happening in Iran? The government would like to hide the people's reactions from the rest of the world, but because of technology, their country is "transparent". I was watching Rachel Maddow last night and other news outlets and was so proud of the Iranian people finding ways to have their voices heard. Today's NY Times printed an article, Social Networks Spread Iranian Defiance Online. From Twitter to youtube to private blog sites, Iranian protests are given relevance.
If you haven't begun your trip into the 21st century and introduced yourself to social media's power, start marching, or be left behind....

  1. In the same context, the same is happening within our own government in the US. How the operating procedures of this administration/congress and previous administrations/congresses regardless of political parties is unsustainable and subverting the Constitution. The social media is a helpful tool to expose these self serving, favoritism, ideolog's agendas, of politicians and all people's.
