Two big changes

Iranian Government and Journalism.

It looks like a big change is coming in Iran and a new journalism is rising from the old journalism that did not show up in Tehran to cover the election.

I come on to Twitter a few months ago. I didn't know what to with it. I couldn't figure out Twitter. I still can't But, give me a break; I was born in the early 1940s.

We already know, or at least think we know that paper based journalism is on it's way out.

Anybody wondering what journalism will look like in ten years? Twitter is the primary source of news from Iran. It looks like Twitter can be a news source with libretto, photos and video. A sort of Google UPI.

Government by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei may be near its end. And Twitter is showing it happening.
