Twitter Revolution

17Jun09

I’m generally enthusiastic about the potential of new communication technologies like twitter, facebook, etc, to facilitate political uprising. But it should be mentioned that it leaves us highly vulnerable to misinformation.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is an awful person and the sooner he’s off the world stage the better, but that doesn’t transform his opponents into automatically honest people, and if major bloggers are posting twitter feeds within minutes of their publication there is a great potential for fraud.
