Take a “Trip” to Tehran to Help Iran

| June 24, 2009 | Comments (1)

If you’re looking for a simple way you can give a small bit of assistance to the Iranian protesters, here’s an idea I’ve seen making its way around Twitter.

If you use Twitter, set your location to Tehran & your time zone to GMT +3.30. Iranian security forces are hunting for bloggers using location/timezone searches. The more people at this location, the more of a logjam it creates for forces trying to shut down Iranians’ access to the internet.

I’ve seen several reports that Iranian security forces have been hunting around Twitter, trying to shut down the one reliable (thus far) means of communications for the protesters. It takes about thirty seconds and if it makes the Mullah’s lives a bit more difficult, then it’s definitely worth the time.
