The Mob, Vegas, and Tea

As events in Iran continue to escalate and unfold, Citizen Journalism is going strong as many Iranian citizens have uploaded their own videos to YouTube. In these videos, you can see the streets flooded, the chants, marching, and mourning.

Powerful first-hand accounts from the citizens themselves.

Also of note, as I've brought up once before, when the New York Times reported that Moldovans were organizing protests against Communism through tweets--(here's the article in case you missed it: "Protests in Moldova Explode, With Help of Twitter")-- Twitter could be a tool of revolution. As the crowds as we are seeing in Iran come together through the social networking site, it certainly shines a whole new light on what Twitter can be used for.

Andrew Sullivan writes an interesting piece on the topic for The Atlantic here: "The Revolution Will Be Twittered"
