#IranElection Follow Along

Claire Light - June 15, 2009

For news and conflict junkies, and those of you who are just wondering what the hell's going on with the post-election protests in Iran, the BBC offers this round up of places to go on the web to follow along [1].

Exhiliratingly, and exhaustingly, Ahmadinejad's government is playing "whack-a-mole" with the various applications protestors are using [2], and finding it particularly difficult to tamp down Twitter. To follow along on Twitter, check out "#iranelection [3]" or follow "mousavi1388 [4]" (Mousavi's official feed) or this Mousavi supporter feed "StopAhmadi [5]."

The National Iranian American Council is liveblogging translations of tweets and posts in Farsi [6].

Feel free to post updates, particularly on Iranian American responses, in comments.
