Twitter, a relatively new social media tool, has long been accused of being too banal even for the average person to take any interest. This certainly has not been the case in Iran, however, as government censorship has threatened to cut off any communication to or from the troubled country. In these tumultuous times, Twitter has proven to be invaluable for citizen journalists speaking their minds and reporting on each day's events.
Here are some examples of the vital reporting emerging from Twitter feeds, focusing on the aftermath of the Iranian elections.
