How widely is handheld technology distributed in Iran? Do poor and rural people have easy access, and use it much? I'm just wondering whether the reason there are so many tweets on one side is because that side is wealthy and/or well-connected enough. Interesting observations about where the people are who are protesting.

How widely is handheld technology distributed in Iran? Do poor and rural people have easy access, and use it much?

I’m just wondering whether the reason there are so many tweets on one side is because that side is wealthy and/or well-connected enough.

Genius work but I can't picture these words coming from either of you because it lacks Max's satirical voice I have become so accustomed to. @Nancy, check out a really funny Colbert Report clip about Jeff Goldblum's "death." He's not really dead, nor was he even in New Zealand. Anyway the clip is from June 29th. Max or Stacy,

I'm not pointing at anyone in particular, but researching.....primary sources, secondary sources...are they things of the past? internet cut and past fact/logic is used more and more as the pressure to come up with a story or opinion increases...now communication is evolving at such a rate and is so fast we may need to rewrite some the rules for researching and reporting....from the top down. Just finished reading first fifty posts….good stuff cool.
