Digital 'Revolution'

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the massacre at Tienanmen square. If from ten years from now, 2009 were to be remembered it would probably be remembered for the protests in Iran. The supreme leader of Iran has today called for the rioters(his evil name for the protesters) to be hanged. Easier said than done. What he has to realise is that when you are asking for half the population of a country to be hanged you will often find yourself hanging from a lamp post. What is more important is that this revolution is being led by a unique tool in the history of revolutions. Twitter. Yes Twitter is the fast,free and uncontrollable force that people around the world are using this tool to bring about change.As iphones, and other mobile devices grow in numbers, and mobile internet connectivity unites the people on the street, twitter is the future weapon, which is going to make governments shake in their seats.
