If there is anything that we can positively take from the Iranian Presidential Election result is the way that we as a human race can communicate even over massive walls of silence that the governing powers put in place to keep their people quiet. Thanks, that is, to Twitter and Bloggers. Without them, many of the powerful scenes we have seen on our TV and internet news channel feeds would have been diluted or not heard at all. Yes, the voice of the people is alive and well, and its twittering like mad to remain so.

twitter-iranThe Iranian state has now declared to its civilians, that if they continue to document what is happening on the streets of Iran in the mass public stages of demonstration, they will face retribution from the feared Revolutionary Guard.

However, there is a dark side to all of this Twitter Civilian Journalism, facing everyone who uses Twitter as a micro-blogging tool. You are being watched! The Secret Service are of-course monitoring feeds, Twitter’s own real time Search is a great way to watch and label those using the site for political motivation no matter how just or unjust, dependant on which side of the wall you belong too.
