By the way, it's been established pretty well by now that Twitter isn't really doing much inside Iran. They're organizing by word of mouth and cell phone. Twitter is just how they get information out to us, to make us feel useful.

      <![CDATA[I've seen the list below on a couple of different sites. for all you tweet people, it's worth reading..<br />
<br />
Rules when supporting the Iranian People on Twitter:<br />
1. Change your name and location to Tehran. This will provide cover for the Tweeters in Tehran.<br />
2. If you have proxy IP numbers to contribute, keep them private. DM them to @stopAhmadi or @iran09<br />
3. Use only #iranelection or #gr88<br />
4. Use your common sense to sniff a tweet for Iranian government misinformation - try and find corroboration before you retweet.<br />
5. Never name a source. Simply relay the information from an Iranian source using F/Iran at the beginning.
