Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr. All demon spawn from Web 2.0, and we all love to make fun of these websites and the services they provide. However, here in the West, where everything is at arm's length and democracy is something we do not remember fighting for, it's easy to forget that what looks silly and useless to us, can be of the utmost importance somewhere else in the world. Update: I've been informed that the first casualty has fallen at the hands of armed government supporters. Hundreds of thousands of people are now on the streets all over Iran. More updates inside.

I'm sure that's what the official Iranian media are claiming here: a bunch of people discontented because they didn't get what they want...
By the same token, though... We can laugh at the Ron Paul supporters, but do we want to erase evidence of their existence entirely?
