Here's how to do what CNN is doing in covering... - Robert Scoble

http://friendfeed.com/search... Search Friendfeed for all items that say Iran Election. - Robert Scoble

http://search.twitter.com/search... Search Twitter for all items that say Iran Election. - Robert Scoble

Most of what I'm seeing on CNN came from these two searches. - Robert Scoble

hmm- id say it is a start but you also need to sift through tons of repeats.Better to find a few reliable sources and look for confirmation amongst them.. - Crystal Clear

Use XLHit to translate Farsi real time items to English: http://www.xlhit.com/s... - Robert Scoble

Between wikipedia, Twitter, and friendfeed. Journalism ain't what it used to be. - Sean Montgomery

Crystal: that's true, but you can filter friendfeed quite effectively to just the good stuff. Here, let me show you how. The searches above show you everything. My next few searches will be filtered. - Robert Scoble

I love how cnn on twitter is saying "no time to tweet stories, tune in" .. meanwhile cnn on tv is just getting twitter feeds and telling us to go to twitter. - Doubledown_inSL

Iran Election on friendfeed filtered to only display items that have one like or more: http://friendfeed.com/search... - Robert Scoble

Also liveblogging. NIAC http://niacblog.wordpress.com/2009... Andrew Sullivan http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_dai... Nico Pitney at HuffPo http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009... - Bob Morris (polizeros)

Only display items that have "Iran" in title and have one or more likes: http://friendfeed.com/search... (limiting things to titles gets rid of noise). - Robert Scoble

I'm getting good updates from Australian @Marawitch - Chris Loft

These are indeed great links. I also tend to refer a lot to the Huffington Post live blog http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009... - Edwin Khodabakchian

Here's the same search, but limiting to items that have gotten 10 or more likes: http://friendfeed.com/search... - Robert Scoble

http://www.memeorandum.com/ shows the biggest news and blogs that are getting discussion right now. - Robert Scoble

Regarding translation Google Translate rolled out Farsi support a couple of days ago. - Edwin Khodabakchian

Now all one needs is a team and the machines to handle it .. next question, how does one achieve absolute confirmation? - Mac Sharp

Here's all items on friendfeed that have the word "Iran" in the title and are getting at least one comment. This is important because items that get conversation usually are better than other items: http://friendfeed.com/search... - Robert Scoble

Here's the same search, but limited further to 10 comments or more: http://friendfeed.com/search... - Robert Scoble

Mac: absolute confirmation? Video confirms pretty strongly, but multiple videos are damn hard to fake, especially in real time. - Robert Scoble

Scoble what is the link to all of the filters for Friendfeed? I'd like to save it under delicious. - BRҰANSAҰS

What sucks is friendfeed can do even better searches by limiting to a carefully chosen set of people, but I can't share those searches with you. - Robert Scoble

Bryan: no link, unfortunately. You just have to copy and paste the URLs I'm posting in this thread. - Robert Scoble

Yep!! I get it !! - Crystal Clear

YouTube for videos marked with "Iran" posted today: http://www.youtube.com/results... - Robert Scoble

Google News for items that discuss Iran: http://news.google.com/news... - Robert Scoble

I've been watching http://tweettabs.com/ too - Mac Sharp

Robert you're a machine - Mike White

Thanks a lot Robert for all this - giuseppe c. | markgreene

This thread is giving me an idea! - Edwin Khodabakchian

I can't wait to see what reporting opportunities arise from the video capabilities of the iphone 3G S. - BRҰANSAҰS

Blogs written today via a Google Blog Search with the word "Iran" in the title: http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsea... - Robert Scoble

Watching http://iran.twazzup.com/ shows all the best Twitter and videos too, by analyzing what people are Twittering about. - Robert Scoble

Scoble, you need to make a blog post of these searches after this. :) - BRҰANSAҰS

Bryan: who said this isn't a blog post? :-) - Robert Scoble

id lost that link & forgot about it! thanks - Crystal Clear

If you find other places that are good to get aggregations of real time news, post them here. - Robert Scoble

@Fingertipnews sent http://www.adamstrawson.com/hbmf... - Mac Sharp

Scoble, you are right it is microblogging. But as you get more and more comments. It gets increasingly harder to filter noise from content. That's where curating comes into play where you filter out the good content from this post and make it its own post. Right? - BRҰANSAҰS

Bryan, its not noise its realtime conversation. If its just noise then they can be eliminated At least in friendfeed its possible. - Arvind

Bryan, good point. And if you have a limited real estate screen, such as my Windows Mobile Screen with fftogo, following huge comment threads is even more difficult. - John E. Bredehoft

John, especially as posts are streaming across friendfeed. It would be cool to place checkboxes next to the comments that have meaningful links and save them to a "dump" or saved space and use them for a post or what have you. - BRҰANSAҰS

Another good search, this time on the word "Tehran" in titles on friendfeed. Warning, horrific video. http://friendfeed.com/search... - Robert Scoble

XLHit amazing me again with crazy real-time info: XLHit search for "protests" in Farsi on Twitter / FF: http://www.xlhit.com/s... - Charles Ying

I just wanted to bump this discussion up to the top for new people who are coming here looking for information on Iran. Lots of great searches are included here. - Robert Scoble

Here to help - Michael Mooney

It can be interesting to get here some opinions about why we cant find even 1 country in the world that is doing something to change the situation in Iran ? is that right ? - Johni Fisher

Really like the xlhit link, thanks Robert. - motownmutt
