Among many things this Iranian protest business has brought us is the development of Twitter as something more than a way for Shaq to baffle and entertain us with his grammar, spelling, and proclamations. It has developed into a seemingly vital tool for organization and new gathering in Iran and as a means for heaping torrents of abuse on GOP members who think of themselves as comparable to Iranian protesters.
Via Jeff Clark comes the Iranian Twitter Word Cloud, which seeks to chart the usage of words of Iranian people in Twitter posts in real time. If you go to his site the green fist world cloud is interactive and each word links you to Twitter posts on Iran using that word. Give it a look.
