Twitter under DOS attack
So just reported Don Lemon on CNN...co-founder said trying to fight off.

I know certain Facebook pages were also under attack from gov't in Iran, so I guess this is part of the same thing. Gosh, those poor demonstrators in Iran! They were able to get tweets out, a few of them, but now...where will they go?

1. They'll do what they've been doing
We just won't find out about it until it's long over and the dust has settled.

I've been able to log on to Twitter, but individuals I've been following in Iran are now blocked.

3. There's more to Twitter than just that (though there are plenty of
people who use it for self-promotion).

I follow a lot of political and politically-minded people who post links and such to articles, actions to take, etc.

4. yes, I do the same
no navel gazing here. most of the people I know use it for politics or to follow the Iranian protesters. Maybe it has to do with age?

twitter back up
