Keeping up with Iran today...

Mousavi has called for another mass rally today, called a "Mourning" rally for the now over 30 killed by government soldiers in the ongoing protests over the Iranian elections.

And these rallies are getting bigger every day, despite the Iranian government's attempts to block International press coverage and even Twitter.

btchakir :: Keeping up with Iran today...
There will be more leaks, I'm sure... I'm going to check in with Nico Pitney's updates at HuffPo as the day goes on.

Another way to stay on top of what's going on in Iran is through Citizentube which is lining up the YouTube videos coming out of that country (and note that the government has managed to block about 90% of those videos already)... the last video reports available since the broadcast networks were cut off.

Between Twitter and YouTube we are seeing a tremendous influence of the Internet on this ongoing protest activity... not something governments have had to consider in the past.
