It was worth waiting to the end to hear Druyan tell Dawkins to shut up and make the case for not antagonising people but having a "better" story. "Scientists don't burn people at the stake" - Euan

This photo should win a Pulitzer Prize. I never expected to see photos like this one come out of Iran. Amazing: - http://twitpic.com/7c85l
This photo should win a Pulitzer Prize. I never expected to see photos like this one come out of Iran. Amazing:
http://tehranlive.org/ is the site that seems to have originated this photo. - Robert Scoble
I wish I knew who shot the photo. Anyone know? - Robert Scoble
Absolut!! - Ronald
No country is one dimensional. That's why I'm so mad at the local media. - Mo Kargas
Robert: don't think we should unveil them, otherwise they'll be arrested ;) - Nir Ben Yona
Absolutely incredible - Michael Krigsman
It is pretty remarkable. It was so good when I saw it last night on Twitter I was afraid it might be a fake. - Jeff Namnum
It might be Amir Sadhegi. I friended him on FB last night. He's an independent photog associated with Tehranlive.org - Jill Elswick
I just left a comment for him about the photo... - Jill Elswick
I'm afraid to think what happened to this brave woman. - Orli Yakuel
Jill: thank you. Here's his Facebook profile: http://www.facebook.com/amirpix... and his photo page: http://www.amirpix.com/ Incredible photo, best one to capture the event yet. - Robert Scoble
Robert: You're welcome. Here, also, is a link to the Tehranlive.org "about" page. It lists Amir Sadhegi as the contact: http://tehranlive.org/about/ - Jill Elswick
I saw so many of this kind of photo with my own eyes yesterday,I was there when they beat us,our people, to death just for yelling out where's our vote?!! - TaaTaa from fftogo
Very moving - that is a brave person. - Alex Hellstrom
Front picture of this women: http://twitpic.com/7c6jz - Orli Yakuel
Alex: the photographer is brave too. Wow, what close work. - Robert Scoble
Iran "tankwoman" - K.D.
Robert: your tweet is now the popular here http://iran.twazzup.com/ - Johni Fisher
None of this reporting -- None of it -- would be possible without online tools. Robert -- there's the 2010 Web! I seem to remember your earlier question (a few months ago) about the definition of journalism. This is it. It's not up to the "paid journalists" at the NY Times or Chicago Tribune anymore. It's up to you, me, people like @jamesbuck, and the person who took this photo and put it online. - Curt Mercadante
Curt: amen! - Robert Scoble
I'm not really surprised, Iranians are a lot more empowered than people in the West think. It is *not* Saudi Arabia! - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Robert: I didn't even think about the photographer! Thanks for pointing that out. I do believe I'll be looking at all these pics in a different light now. - Alex Hellstrom
Thanks for getting this out. It's so easy to get lost in tweeting about our silly mundane lives that we forget how important images like this can result in making people aware and helping to make a difference in the world. - mrsha
More live updates about #Iran can be found in here: http://www.monitter.com/ - Nir Ben Yona
Amazing photo - thanks for finding it & sharing it Robert! - Gurpreet
What happened to her after all? - Christine Yang
Robert Scoble, Thank you for informing about current news in Iran. We will never forget this. (from Iran) - Zahra (raoros)
I thought the same thing last night. Maybe the Iranians finally are willing to make some change. - Tom Searing
@Tom Searing: I hope so, the only way is change... - Zahra (raoros)
Photo of the year. - Mike Doeff
moment! - reality
چی میشه آخرش - Hamid
Curt, right, after listening to Scoble on a panel about the future of Journalism, and he was the only one "journalizing" it via Kyte, I wrote a post that the future of Journalism is a video camera or in this case a camera. I remember that it was the camera and video camera that stopped Vietnam for instance - Stephen Pickering
And, putting aside for a bit whether or not CNN ignored the story -- we're now getting news that NBC's Tehran office may have been raided and the BBC has been told to "get lost." Under oppressive, censoring regimes like we have in Iran, North Korea and China -- citizen journalists empowered by new communications tools will be the ONLY way we get accurate news from these regions. - Curt Mercadante
Curt Mercadante 100+ - Bora Zivkovic
the detail- the untied shoe lace. wow. - anna sauce
Inspiring. Let's hope the government falls. Because if it doesn't, there will probably be vicious repression. - Bob Morris (polizeros)
روز زن مبارک - Mir "hamidreza" Mosavi
I am the photographer of this photo - Amir
It's really a fantastic photo Amir, do you know the woman in the photo? - BryanSchuetz
WOW. How can you say anything else? - Sheryl
I love the fact that people start setting up proxy servers for the people in Iran: http://bit.ly/Fiqmb - Holger Eilhard
Shocking stuff - Tyson Key
If anyone ever doubted the revolutionary, real-time impact of Social Media, this photo easily dispels those misconceptions.... - John Fenzel
Amir: you have a fan for life. I hope you do win the Pulitzer Prize. I think you got the iconic photo of the election protests. This one should hang in Newseum's Pulitzer Gallery. Can you tell us how you shot it, and give us more details about what was going on in your head as you pressed the shutter button? To everyone else, don't you love friendfeed? - Robert Scoble
Amir: when I took photojournalism at San Jose State University one quote stuck in my mind from all those classes over the years "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." That quote was from Robert Capa, here's an article in Time Magazine about it: http://www.time.com/time... You have gotten close enough. Congrats, I can't even imagine trying to get this close. I hope all comes out well for your country and you. - Robert Scoble
Robert: I've only been using friendfeed for about 5 days and I'm already in love with it. I guess I picked a good time to try it out! - Alex Hellstrom
Amir, what do you shoot with? - EricaJoy

Paul Miller » My take on MPs’ expenses - http://www.paulmiller.org/...
"This isn’t really about expenses. What’s going on has been brewing for a long time - it’s a more general disaffection with the structure of politics in the UK and a belief that politicians just aren’t up to the job of taking important decisions. It was only a matter of time before we found a touchpaper issue to really get things going. I’d focus on making Westminster a better decision making body. It’s going to take a long time for that to happen but there are some things that could be done quite quickly." (It *is* about expenses, and should be/could be/ought to be about so much more, too.) - David Smith

Employers squandering the talents of workers - http://www.workfoundation.com/pressme...

Bruce Sterling: The future is unwritten. - http://blog.wired.com/sterlin...
"I regret the suffering, I know it’s big trouble -- but it promises massive change & a massive change was inevitable. The way we ran the world was wrong. I've never seen so much panic around me, but panic is the last thing on my mind. My mood is eager impatience. I want to see our best, most creative, best-intentioned people in world society directly attacking our worst problems. I'm bored with the deceit. I'm tired of obscurantism & cover-ups. I'm disgusted with cynical spin & the culture war for profit. I'm up to here with phony baloney market fundamentalism. I despise a prostituted society where we put a dollar sign in front of our eyes so we could run straight into the ditch. The cure for panic is action ... any action is better than whining. We can do better. ... Grow up to the size of your challenges. Bang out some code, build some platforms you don't have to duct-tape any more, make more opportunities than you can grab for your little selves, & let's get after living real lives" - David Smith
Just want to add that I tried clicking through on this link, and Wired.com broke my browser (Firefox) four times on two different computers (running Windows OS). Not until we (husband and I) tried it on a machine running Free BSD did the site load flawlessly, and then we tried it on a Windows machine using the latest Safari (4.0) and it loaded perfectly. Is it all the Java (and who knows what else) gunk loaded on Wired? - Yule Heibel
PS: Perhaps I clicked "like" too soon? Haven't had a chance to read the article yet, but the spouse (@wernerbahlke on Twitter) says Sterling makes a huge error when he claims that Sun invented Java, which he (Sterling) then goes on to describe as the Java script that wasn't invented by Sun at all, but rather was invented by a programmer at Netscape. Sun brought out the Java programming language, but not Java script. Aside from that, spouse says Sterling rambles. Maybe the intention is good, though... - Yule Heibel
PPS: Now he just popped over to say that it's an interesting read after all... Memo to self: stop reporting what others are saying, read it yourself. Roger, over and out! :-) - Yule Heibel

BBC NEWS | Size matters - smaller is better - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1...
"In Robert Graves's book Count Belisarius, he wrote that when they told Belisarius that an army of 100,000 troops was mustering against him, he calmly said: "Very few generals can manage an army of a hundred thousand." And when they said: "It's now 150,000", he'd say: "Even fewer generals can manage an army of 150,000." Exactly."""No matter how many communes anybody invents, the family always creeps back," said anthropologist Margaret Mead. Communes aren't in fashion right now, it's conglomerates and global empires. But in the end we can all relate only to a certain number of people; a unity more or less like a family." - David Smith
