Viva Twitter!
Viva Twitter! Wow, Iranian government censorship was thwarted by a simple social networking site. When all other media outlets had been closed down to hide the murder and political suppression of the Iranian people, Twitter was able to maintain a link to the outside world rallying international support and scrutiny. I award Twitter the John F. Kennedy U.S. Medal of Freedom for its role in helping to prevent the regime's hideous treatment of women, the systematic murder of homosexuals, its denial of the Holocaust, and its insurgent warfare against the defensive U.S. forces in Iraq. God bless the Iranian people–freedom is at hand.

For people who want to be heard
Twitter, as a friend put it to me, is for people who want to be heard but don’t want to blog. It’s so easy to let people know what you are doing, what you are thinking, and what you are observing in the world. I got to admit, I’m hooked on it.

I love Twitter!
I love Twitter! I am not the first person to adopt new technology and didn’t know quite what to think when I was introduced to the product. But I gave it a try and have been pleasantly surprised by its forced simplicity (condense your musing into 140 characters) and the easy way you fall into staying connected with friends - without any overhead! Nothing to customize - you just type. Via the web, IM, your cell phone - so you can always be in touch. Technology has finally achieved something easy and fun. I love it!
