Social Media ensures that the world is watching Iran in real time

The people of Iran are flouting Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's order not to protest today against the allegedly rigged election results and though the authorities have banned the media from reporting on unauthorized gatherings, reformers are relaying video evidence of the state's attempts to disperse protesters to the world through social networking sites such as YouTube.

Follow these video links for evidence of real-time activity within the past hours on Tehran's steets and I'm sorry they are pretty upsetting: I show these not to shock but to shame the authorties into stopping this carnage.

You can follow events as they occur by searching for Iran on YouTube and then selecting sorting by, "newest," in the top menu

The Twitter hashtag #iranelection brings up a message within the last 10 seconds as I read it STICK TOGETHER! RT From Iran: About 5000 Protesters pushing back Police, Bassij & Hezbollah to Azadi St #IranElection.

Sadly they know as well as we do what the result, for them personally will be. Here, lasty is a post by one of the youth of Tehran who expects he may die today in the name of the fight for freedom.

How to Write Effective Blog Posts September 6, 2010

Numbers That Matter September 4, 2010
