FriendFeed has been almost completely blocked in Iran as far as we can tell. We have a large number of very active Iranian users, and we noticed a steep decline in activity yesterday. Graph below.

If Twitter were blocked and FriendFeed weren't, I'd expect an uptick in FriendFeed activity, not a 92% drop.

If Iran thinks they have nothing to fear, then why block Friendfeed?
- Frode Stenstrøm
Frode: because the government is like China: they believe that by retarding the flow of information they will reduce the threat of protests and governmental overthrow.
- Robert Scoble
Very reminiscent of the prelude to the fall of the Shah
- Alan Morris
I don't speak Persian, so I don't know all the searches, but there are still (luckily) a lot of Persian users posting: http://friendfeed.com/search.... If you are Persian and looking for updates, try our search engine to find the few users who still have access.
- Bret Taylor
Frode: and in Iran's case, they are run by conservative religious authorities and they don't like the fact that they are not in control of information flow like they used to be. They like to think they can still control information sources and, since they can't, they try to block places where their citizens can go to share information.
- Robert Scoble
is it a joke? iranian users seems the %90 of friend feed. it could not be real!
- Fırat DEMİREL
Firat: There are no units on the vertical axis of the chart.

Firat: This is a chart of traffic from Iran, not of FF's total traffic.

These statistics are incredible, especially the normally heavy useage of FF in Iran.
- Curt Mercadante
Bret Taylor, we can tag our pix and vids about iran election by an english keyword such as 'iran' or 'iranelection'. I think it will help to ff non-persian users to find out more about unrests in iran.
- آدمیرال
Iran restored cell phone service Sunday that had been down in the capital since Saturday. But Iranians still could not send text messages from their mobile phones, and the government increased its Internet filtering in an apparent attempt to undercut opposition voices. Social networking sites including Facebook and Twitter were also not working.

Stanislas: not to mention they encourage their smartest and richest people to leave (the ones who have technical skills). There's a reason why Silicon Valley has 10,000 or more Iranians living here. Their government sucks and the people are getting tired of it. Of course if their government was great I would never have met my wife (who grew up in Tehran). So, there is good to come out of a crappy government! :-)
- Robert Scoble
it has always seemed to me that the iranian user base is ENORMOUS here. wow. unbelievable.
- edythe
It is interesting how much civil unrest that is brewing across the globe towards their governments. The knee jerk reactions in attempting to block certain websites shows how much they didn't expect the net to become such a widespread conduit for cutting through the bs and informing those that wish to know. I wish those who take a stand all the best.
- alphaxion

Another way for those that are in Iran is to access through Netvibes (but I don't know if it works or if it's blocked too), adding Friendfeed, Gmail and so on such as modules

Yes, Friendfeed is blocked in Iran. Right now the papers and TV channels here are controlled by the government and our access to satellite channels is blocked too.

The Iranian websites that people used to exchange information about the election protests in Iran are under cyber-attacks by the government forces and from anonymous sources. Many of them are down right now. These Iranian websites were our few last remaining channels to inform people. What can we do about that? Is there anyone out there who can help us with this?
- emin
i was 53rd active user in friendfeed until this filtering. now i can open FF with proxies and if i can fine. a Vpn but many Vpn here come from companies that have relations with security services, i thunk they allow us to bypass filternig and then, they will arrest who has wrote against their goals
- خیزران kheyzaran
Can't we transfer the data/databases of the sites you, iranian guys, use to any new domain we could buy? I want to help. Not by throwing rocks to "security service" forces, but, at least, by making possible for what YOU have to say to go public, worldwide.

The reason I ask is because if you can email a post, then try sending it to share@friendfeed and also to YourUserName@friendfeed. Then when someone comments you'll receive an email about it and you can comment back to the thread via email as well.

my mom should be able to answer that correctly, only because i've been using that word in phone troubleshooting. and i would say it makes sense that people don't take "browser" as a particular term. this is the future.

...and when I was feeling bad that I wasn't all tech-y as I thought I am, something like this shows up.

"THE 50 MOST IMPORTANT, OVERALL FASCINATING AND WITHOUT A DOUBT BESTEST DOCUMENTARIES EVER MADE" - http://www.lodownmagazine.com/index...
Tobias W., Mahsa Z, Ronald and 5 other people liked this
"With mainstream movies becoming more and more bland and banal, this is the place to look (back) for the really good, mindblowing stuff. And since the digital age – between dirt cheap camcorders and all sorts of online sites – is making documentary filmmaking both more affordable as well as easier to distribute, today might be the latest golden age. Truly great documentaries, the one’s you’ll find on these pages, should make you think (don’t be alarmed, it’s not as painful as it sounds), maybe move you, help you to form an idea, or simply entertain. That’s not an easy thing to do – just look at those god-awful TV formats, the ‘docu dramas’ and reality shows. Compared to that, the films on this list are Shakespeare, Kraftwerk and ‘The Godfather’ rolled into one – thrilling, disturbing works of art. Read. Now. Watch. Later."

"THE 50 MOST UNDER-APPRECIATED AND UNFAIRLY FORGOTTEN MOVIE TREASURES" - http://www.lodownmagazine.com/index...
Tobias W., Fossil Huntress, Carlton Hackett and 2 other people liked this
"Viral marketing hadn't been invented, people didn't understand the narrative, the topic was too hot to handle, or they were punished with the same release date as Star Wars, Pulp Fiction and the Dark Knight combined. Some movies didn't make it to your local cinema or outside of the festival circuit, your DVD slot, or your attention in general. Most of them should remain buried in oblivion, others, however, are worth digging for - in the realm of your video store, on the internet or in your nerd-buddies VHS/Beta collection. You're probably bored to death of what Youtube or Uporn has to offer and so now, you're in need of some hints on how you can accumulate your cinematic inventories. Therefore Lodown has proudly compiled a biased list of movies gems that haven't received the acknowledgement they should have."

Berk, I tried Mozy when it was first released and I just found it slow, and backups would fail. Backblaze was slow too (initial backup took 17 days), but once it was finished, it's been well worth the money.

It was started by some ex apple guys I believe and it can definitely show in the final product. Very few options - it just backs up in the background. It also stores versions of a file so sequential backups are...

I must have tried Evernote five times, but can't really get what is SO useful about it. Maybe it's the "how" - can someone direct me to how they use it and why it's useful to them? As far as paid apps, Pandora, Carbonite and Extra Storage on Google. That's it.
- Vince DeGeorge
Vince: check out Evernote's blog http://blog.evernote.com/ as well their tumblr blog http://evernote.tumblr.com/ They have some great use cases on both sites. Maybe that will spark some ideas on how to utilize it. It's one of those things where you have to kind of be conscious of it and make yourself use it - then after a while it naturally becomes part of your workflow - at least that is how it worked for me.

Can someone tell me what lynda.com does? And what do you get extra with a paid Pandora account?
- Mark Traphagen
Mark: Lynda offers professional video tutorials or classes on pretty much any software imaginable (classes are streamed in browser via QuickTime and range anywhere from 2-12 hours. Pandora One is the pay Pandora account. It offers more skipping per day, double the bit rate quality (192 - huge difference from free account) and also a longer timeout period.
- Mike Bracco
I thought the bit rate quality with Pandora One wasn't going to be a big deal but it's night and day...big difference.

"As you no doubt heard last night, the whole Facebook vanity URL grab thing was big. Within seven minutes of the service being available last night, 345,000 users grabbed one. Within 15 minutes, over a half million had, Facebook spokesperson Larry Yu told Bloomberg. But who got the best one. The best one I’ve seen by far, was grabbed by Christine Shipley of San Francisco. Rather than go for facebook.com/christine.shipley or even facebook.com/shipley, she went with facebook.com/default.aspx. Yes, her name could easily be confused as the default landing page for Facebook. (Though, savvy users will know that the site is actually built in PHP, and not ASP, which the .aspx extension suggests)."
