As fallout from the Iranian presidential election wanes, it is important to reflect on the debated role of social media tool such as Twitter in the post-election events. On one side, some argue that Twitter provides a powerful tool for organizing a grass-roots movement. Others insist both that Twitter is playing a small role within Iran due the government's censorship and that most information about Iran posted on Twitter originated from more traditional media. I conducted a detailed analysis of approximately 500,000 posts on Twitter pertaining to the Iran election and it is clear that many observers miss the most important point: the technology, information, and news revolution that began with the advent of blogging came to full fruition in Iran's current uprising.
