With the state of education in our own country and the lack of understanding of history and our constitution we are not on firm ground. I am pulling for the Iranians and hope they have a peaceful victory. I could not agree with you more, Tabbie, about education.

The part about Iran, however, gives me a taste of hope in this old world after all, and for that I am grateful. Let the people be heard! (but don't forget to educate the masses ;) ) I believe in democracy, but I believe education is the key to mankind's survival.

I'm not yet part of the twitter wave myself, but this was a very cogent explantion. Thanks. And sometime we must talk about Wired, too. :) Very, very cool post, Anhinga.

It has a lot to offer, even if you have nothing to say. You can sit back and watch it all happen, like a ticker tape, or you can jump in. During the November elections, I monitored it closely so I could get results for Prop 8 in California. I made a lot of friends that day and over the following days. I viewed pictures of demonstrations and got to know some people. It's also wonderful when something happens far away and you want information quickly. I get tweets about earthquakes far away and all sorts of stuff. I haven't followed the Iranian news, or any news for the past month but I will get back to it. When I go on my trip in October, I'll tweet from Australia! Of course everyone here will be asleep! But I will know that I tweeted from there! I really like Twitter.
