Twittering Iran Election Protesters

Taking down the picture I had up since I don't want anyone to get hurt by being recognized. Everyone on Twitter following the Iranian Election have all changed our settings to say we live in Tehran. So it will be hard to track Iranian users because they are twittering the revolt and hardliners are arresting anyone speaking up or protesting. This site is listed on my twitter page and were it to be looked at by the Iranian thugs they might see the picture of two naked guys wearing pictures of Ahmadinejad tied around their hips covering their 'naughty bits.'
Salon.com has a story "Who hates who in Iran" A somewhat coherent outsider's guide into the labyrinthine world of Iranian politics by Gabriel Winant. Clicking the title takes you to story about Twitter and the election.

Dear Pooria, you are so welcome. We all find it devastating what is happening to Iranians. Sending strength, support and LOVE to our fellow human beings that are so courageous.
