Looking to be another crazy day of Iran twittering.
The way the pattern has been establishing itself, the government forces and Basiji own the night, but the people put their green on and come out during the day. It's pretty much guaranteed to be violent.

Twitter itself is getting interesting. Users are being asked to switch their time zones to GMT+330, and switch their locations to Tehran, so as to thwart government agents who are searching for rogue twitterers by location. They're also being asked to remove names of Iranians from retweets, so instead you should retweet with "RT from Iran" so as to make it harder for the government thugs to track them down.

Also, keep your bullshit filters ready - there are people posting bogus info on Twitter.

Should be interesting...
