Totally agree. If it wasn't for the internet, I would have no idea what was going on in Iran.

I read conflicting reports that Mousavi has been arrested? Is this true or not?

From what I've heard on the news updates- he has been taken into custody. This is not good.

CNN has been terrible forever. I follow them on twitter simply to see how much less informed I feel with every post.

the most amazing thing was filtering Twitter hashtag and watching the updates come in sometimes hundreds within 10-15 minutes periods. an incredible way to immerse into the real-time interest cloud.

I love this tweet from the CNN tweetbot: Tehran on fire"... "Palin vs. Letterman Who's Right?" with panel discussion {priorities: fail;}

There is a letter from Mousavi in both Farsi & English circulated for hours. He is under house arrest. There are reports of Ministries on Fire. Twitter has been lit up for hours.

Let's agree that most TV news networks decided long ago that they would control the news. Remember swine flu? People blame the fuss about that on Twitter, yet it died everywhere as soon as the MSM stopped making it a big deal.

It's the weekend. There is no one in the newsroom on the weekend. When I worked there, we had to absolutely drag someone in for the Princess Diana accident...the community was going nuts and there we were, with no broadcast news, no confirmation, no nothing.

We don't bother with broadcast TV, so I can't watch any of the stations, but http://www.bbc.co.uk/ currently has it listed as the top news story, as does http://www.cbc.ca/news/ both with firey photos.
- David Sky
CNN has access to Twitter and more. So why can't they give the proper attention to this story?
- Donald Wilson
It's actually all so called TV news outlets. Internet is a better source of news. To be fair though, sometimes, on duty journalists/editors do not have the last say in what's covered as 'news'. Simple politics and ratings. I usually tune in to UK TV channels than I do US for news, that too very rarely. Sad but true.

My last thought on this, no matter what happens, US definitely needs to stay out. It's Iran's internal matter just as 2004 re-election of Bush was our internal matter. As shocking as it was to the rest of the world (I still struggle with the fact ppl I know actually voted for him - twice!!), US did vote for Bush the second time.

It's difficult to get a right news even for me who know Persian, Iranian Tv doesn't support anything about street riots at all, Face book and You tube are filtered over there! No SMS! No mobile, even FF is filtered for them ! :|

re: Teriss - comparing cnn.com to twazzup.com at 10:08 PM Central, CNN has NO MENTION of Iran and twazzup has 3 of 10 Hot Topics about Iran ... looks like CNN is NOT the place to find 'Breaking News'.

Really strange.

I really like Don Lemon but he seems to think CNN isn't doing anything wrong, which bugs me. http://twitter.com/donlemoncnn

CNN finally pipes up and mentions Facebook pictures inciting violence in Iran - but no update. Oh, yeah, and the fact that access to internet has been cut off. Is that the only news?Now on to the Letterman/Palin fight! I am heading back to online updates.
- Liza + = ?
I often find US cable TV insular when it comes to foreign affairs - coverage of Barack Obama's recent speech in Egypt was a case in point. But CNN ignoring the Iranian protests is shameful.

I was always kinda of excited about the prospect of a 24 hour news network. Imagine how many more stories or how much more in-depth you could got on a single item. That really didn't happen. Covering stories, particularly any story happening outside NY or LA, is expensive. So we saw CNN put on a bunch of shows with pundits. They leaned to the left, so FOX could come along and lean to...

Twitter is susceptible to manipulation by propagandists--for example the protests in Moldavia. In that case it was a legit election that the protesters just didn't like the result of. A flash mob does not a majority make.
- Joe Knapp
Joe: good point, but many of us didn't fall for that crap and even then it cleaned itself out pretty quickly.
- Robert Scoble
CNN died in 2001, when Tom Johnson retired. Quite a few of the top talent left around the same time, not wanting to be part of Jamie Kellner's efforts to be more like FOX. Cable "news" is a ghetto, and I never, ever, ever turn it on. Robert, you'll enjoy this: http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_dai...

Been watching CNN International in China for two days and I can't agree with you. The reporting seems to be matching what I'm seeing on BBC and reading in NYTimes and Twitter. Saying they should be "ashamed" is a bit invective.

"CNN International . . . seems to be matching what I'm seeing on BBC and reading in NYTimes and Twitter." - CNN-I is a totally separate production team, and has a totally different business model from CNN-"Domestic."

All these comments are so stupid and ill-informed. Not a single one of you has ever tried to take a camera crew into a totalitarian country. I have. You don't just walk around. Easy to twitter for one person. Very hard to get pictures! Go and try it, and until then. Shut up!
- Prokofy Neva
@Sean, i agree we have witnessed a coup--the sustained fight lasting a week with people in the street every day, making police run away, NYT editorial by Reuel Marc Gerecth has a good analysis of what it means, and AlJazeera http://www.youtube.com/watch... has a good analysis. the action on the streets is having a huge effect, not just on Iran but on the Middle East.
- Eleanor Wynn
Prokofy Neva, agreed that no new organizations can get in there, but any of the news channels could rebroadcast key videos, photographs and analysis of this very major geopolitical event--it is really disgusting to go through the TV channels and see the dreck that is on when something major is happening--our local news channels will cover a weather event non-stop, why doesn't a major channel cover this/
- Eleanor Wynn
the citizen journalism tells the story in a way noone else could. you are right there in the middle of the crowd with all the changes of pace and direction, the shaky camera itself tells a story and the sounds. it is like actually being there--that is why the twitter and youtube coverage is the real coverage--they don't have to process, package and add a local angle to it that waters down the effect

Just the @name. Figured anyone on Twitter will know how to read that. If they don't understand that, they're not on Twitter.
- Hutch Carpenter
Sameer - over on CloudContacts we are seeing more cards with twitter id's - I would say the majority of them are either "twitter - @moo" or "@moo" - few have "www.twitter.com/moo"
- Allen Stern
Mine says. Twitter: [twittername]
- Anika
Oh Allen, thanks for chiming in. You see so many more than the rest of us.
- Sameer
Allen - that's an interesting tidbit. I talked about a rise in people adding their Twitter handles to their business cards in a blog post today: http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Hutch Carpenter
My instinct is to do twitter.com/name.. Since Twitter makes it so hard to find a user, the url is a sure way to get to my page. atleast thats my pretzel logic :)
- Sameer
I am not 100% sold on putting twitter or any of the other networks on the card - point them to yourname.com and let them go from there - this way they see your full scope and not just one thing - you can easily link from yourname.com to twitter/etc - and keeps printing changes to a minimum
- Allen Stern
oh cool Hutch. Good timing :)
- Sameer
Full URL - @mona just seems arrogant.
- Mona Nomura
I agree with Mona that @mona (or @meryn) can come across as a little elitist.. But know that for me, Twitter has too much a feeling of hype over it. "You're not on Twitter! OMG. You must be on Twitter. *Everyone* is on Twitter."
- Meryn Stol
Interesting points on the arrogance - hadn't thought of it that way. In my line of work, having some social engagement is part of the job.
- Hutch Carpenter
Twitter is so 2006 (I had Twitter on my card back then). Now? My Rackspace cards have my friendfeed address.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, indeed. And your friendfeed feed includes your tweets.
- Meryn Stol
just @dennisoneil
- Dennis O'Neil
Point is, it's not merely elitist, it's being STUPID elitist. That's what showing off you're on Twitter means to me know (at least, I have that vague association). I have a sense of "disgust".
- Meryn Stol
Only slightly of course. I don't judge people merely on the fact if they're on Twitter or FriendFeed or whatever. :)
- Meryn Stol
Robert, Twitter is so 2011 for 50% of the people I interact with :)
- Sameer
Twittter yesterday, friendfeed today, something else tomorrow. better to point to your online profile i guess, google profile or chi.mp profile etc
- Kiran Patchigolla
Are we still going to be using this @name in 3-5 years? Don't think so. Too many twitter ids have absolutely no relation to the name of the person -- Who the heck is @elmerfudd ? Why is Ashton @aplusk? That makes no sense to me. Maybe he got that login ID to be anonymous to begin with, and it stuck...
- Joe
I remember when people used to put internet: that went away and now foo.com is acceptable - I use glemak.com simply
- mike "glemak" dunn
I just want to remind you: Twitter is a bubble. I wouldn't want to associate me with a bubble. It's just as wrong as being in the late nineties and putting .com after your name to raise your share price.

See? We are "dot com". Now we're "cool".

- Hutch Carpenter
But Sameer, this is all subjective. It could be that most people will in fact look up to you for having @sameer (or something) on your card. For some it's stylish. But I think it'll get out of fashion sooner or later. For Robert (not the least of persons) it already is.
- Meryn Stol
Allen does have a good answer to all of this - your blog is the only constant
- Sameer
Sameer, you're doing good in Google. That's most important I think.
- Meryn Stol
I upvoted your blog and Twitter account. I don't know if that helps.
- Meryn Stol
Sameer - think about it - you pop your twitter name on your card and 6 mos later you leave twitter - now what? if you send people to your .com, you control where they go, etc. only takes another second and is a good funnel. i see some cards with facebook and linkedinurls too - although the biggest shock are cards that have no url!
- Allen Stern
Meryn - the other way to look at this. 1) i can always reprint cards w/out twitter b) cards have a different purpose these days. Its a way to port the contact info to a place where you can digitize it (enter the data into outlook or ofcouse, send it to CloudContacts).
- Sameer
Allen, does cloudcontacts parse "rel=me" links from a listed homepage?
- Meryn Stol
hmm no but i can look into it - thanks fo rthe idea
- Allen Stern
Allen, yes. Imagine someone only having his blog on his card. Then it's handy if Twitter account can be detected through rel=me.
- Meryn Stol
I have only my blog on my card. On the side-bar, you can find the links to me on Twitter, FriendFeed, Facebook, LinkedIn, Dopplr, Nature Network, Flickr, YouTube and Stumbleupon.
- Bora Zivkovic
I guess I'm not really ready to put all these addresses on a card yet. Phone, email, and a URL that points to a site/page with all the other contact info on it seems like the way to go. (ala Bora :-)
- Ken Sheppardson
Thanks for upvoting me Meryn. Yeah thanks to my blog I do pretty well on Google. Otherwise a name like Sameer Patel makes John Smith look like a rare find. :)

Not yet, but I am considering it. Would you put your Linkedin, Plaxo, FriendFeed, MySpace, FaceBook, Spoke, etc on a card?
- andywergedal
I think "business cards" are increasingly irrelevant. For what it's worth, I put everything on axon.tel, and give that link exclusively in sigs, posts, comments, profiles, etc.
