I'm trying this out. I'm not "twitter-pated" yet. I do wish to do anything that I can to help raise consciousness and add to peace in the world. My twitter address: http://twitter.com/ArtistJoyful

i agree with you - Twitter has much potential if used with caution, maturity, knowledge, and a commitment to non-violence. I hope it will evolve as such,

Peace.

I certainly agree that a lot of what has passed through Twitter in the past week has been "chatter", but it is interesting to watch the way people pick up on who passes disinformation and who may be gov. agents phishing for dissidents.
From what I have seen, the ones advocating violent response, sending info on molotov cocktails, etc. are usually shutdown, people block them, warn against them. I've been impressed with how people are responding on Twitter. Yes there is a lot of repeats of info that is uncertain, but a lot of info has been passed both ways, news, videos, pictures have been sent out of Iran that we probably wouldn't have if we were only limited to regular news channels.

There is more support throughout the world-due to Twitter. I'm not bragging about Twitter as being the best news source ever-I nearly quit it a while ago when the "business" side of Twitter became so predominant that I could no longer see my friends' notes. I felt it had become pretty worthless until I saw what was happening with Twitter, Iran and the world. And i became impressed with the site again for new reasons.

The flow of traffic on Twitter about Iran is still steady. Events are still happening and that is about the only way to see it from the view of real people in real time.

with caution, and prayers for Iran,
Ellizabeth

Elizabeth (and others):

For the first several days of the protests, there was an enormous amount of traffic on Twitter from and about Iran. However, the number of tweets tapered down for several reasons: Iran govt's government shutdown of internet infrastructure; people's growing awareness that there was a considerable amount of disinformation, together with an inability to confirm veracity of information; people's sensitivity to the fact they might be contributing to violence; etc.

There still is a flow of tweets (trying searching #IranElection), but although it's lighter, the infor seems to have more credibility.

"Flashmobbing" through Twitter is a dangerous game. There is always the risk of disinformation, false flagging, and provocation. We need to be very responsible when we use Twitter in volatile situations, lest we contribute to violence, be manipulated by provocateurs, and, therefore, contribute to war rather than peace.

I'm not sure why even here I am seeing and reading so little about the events in Iran. this relates to Twitter and is a copy of a comment I left earlier on a blog.


Twitter made the world aware of the events in Iran. The news programs weren't. Twitter is one way that people in Iran have been able to maintain contact with the rest of the world. And yes, the is plenty of disinformation-both planned and rumor-and lots of repeats and ignorance. but important information has gone back and forth on Twitter-safety, meeting times, how to block gov. stations, how to find proxies to bypass gov blocking of internet, listing of suspected informers or gov. agents looking for Iranian citizens. I have been amazed the last few days that there is little to no news anywhere else. So I go to Twitter.

I am amazed there is so little here on Iran and the governmental brutality and lack of peace. the people there desperately want peace, but they want the freedoms guaranteed by their constitution and they want their elections to be legitimate.
I find twitter to tell me about life in Tehran right now and it's not pleasant or peaceful. It's chaotic, scary, unsure and that is all seen in the twitter posts-100's every few minutes. Nobody is sure who is police, informer, or somebody on the street wondering if it will be safe to go home.

but the world support is strong on Twitter, many faces have become green, many prayers go out to Iranian citizens caught in a war they weren't prepared for, and peace is prayed all the time.

I pray peace in Iran and my face on Twitter is green also,
Elizabeth
