There's a good reason Twitter is much more popular than Facebook for this. Facebook won't let you register under a name not your own. (which is why I refuse to use it. That invades my privacy, and I don't go there as a result.)
Facebook may also well be blocked in Iran. People can SMS in updates to Twitter, bypassing the bans of the Iran gov't. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of PGage Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 3:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TV orNotTV] NOTV - Twitter Help I decided to join twitter to try and see some of the reports coming out of Iran. With help from the young people I learned the basics of facebook, so I thought I could get up on twitter on my own, but so far, not so much luck. How do I find the Iran reports? All I could see when I joined was an offer to "follow" some celebrities (I take it "follower" is the twitter equivalent of being a facebook "friend". What does twitter offer that facebook does not to these Iran reporters? Couldn't they do as much, or more on facebook? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
