Twitter and Iran

I am eagerly following #iranelection twitter topic. It seems that Twitter is the best place for up-to-date information (and rumours) on Iran. There are new tweets every second, many from people inside Iran, posting continual updates with their mobile phones. It is really quite amazing how fast news is spreading. News of violence and unrest are being published seconds after they occur for the world to see.

Here is a small Twitter list from Iran which have a constant stream of updates and links to photos and videos:
