This is entirely amazing to me. Right now, the youth of Iran and those who are concerned with getting their voices heard are actually demanding democracy and representation in their country. Our own western media is doing such a crap job at covering all of this, but what is amazing to me is that it doesn't matter. The revolution is virtualised, not televised. Humanity has become so adept at getting information to flow and transfer that every effort of the Iranian government to stop it is falling flat on its face. The internet, while always powerful (look at what it did for Obama) is now taking a serious step forward in the history of humanity. We are actually seeing a revolution planned, executed, and reported entirely using social media. Twitter is abuzz with battle orders, telling people to go to certain places to defend them or help those who are hurt.

I saw this on tv earlier today, many protests in Iran demanding democracy.

Is the internet even working over there? I mean it has to, to some degree. But my understanding is that the Iranian goverment had shut off a large portion of it's telecomm system to halt attempts to gather and protest
