Iran is a nation of Bloggers

Unless you were on a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific last week, you have all heard that Iran is going through very agitated times since its presidential election. It is true that I have never posted anything in relation with politics on this blog until now, but I have just found this very interesting video of with an overview of Blogs in Iran, and when you see the key roles Social Networking Platforms are playing in the current confrontation, (i.e. #iranelection on twitter) I thought it deserved a post on Consumer Is Boss.




At the moment I am mainly getting all the information through twitter, but I know the iIanian opposition has been very active on other platforms such as Facebook. Do you have any other examples of this 2.0 mobilization?
