The Revolution Will Be Tweeted!

Twitter had a scheduled outage, they have postponed it as Iranian protesters are using it to communicate. The Iranian government spies are trying to catch people in Iran based on their TimeZone info. The 'twitterati' are changing their timezones in solidarity with Iranian Pro Democracy Protesters to confuse the Iranian agents.

Here is a sample of the IranRT feed. Reminds me of the Long March time not too long ago in Pakistan.
