The Western media certainly never tired of claiming that Iranians used Twitter to organize and coordinate their protests following President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's apparent theft of last June's elections.
Seriously? I guess that's the Western media for you. My impression at the time was that the Iranians that were using Twitter were largely using it to inform the rest of the world of their situation. It's not surprising the Western media would gloss over this, because that essentially means Iranians were using Twitter to do the Western media's job for them.
