Not a physics post, but an observation. There is a major event going on in Iran right now - protests involving many thousands of people; rioting; the most political upheaval since the 1979 revolution.

So much for my general perception that twitter was only for people more self-indulgent than bloggers (ahem.). It's fascinating and alarming to watch events unfold from halfway around the world, while CNN reports on things like Sarah Palin/David Letterman feuds. It's as though the "news" network has forgotten what real news is....
