Outing Iran

June 29th, 2009

From Andrew Sullivan‘s the Daily Dish:

Even as the flow of footage, tweets, and reporting from Iran has started to ebb, the Dish wants to keep the spotlight on the Iranian people as much as possible in the coming weeks. So while continuing to post fresh political content, we want to start featuring as much cultural content as we can find – particularly as seen through the eyes of young Iranian bloggers. The more Americans get to know Iran’s rapidly-ascending millennials, the greater chance there is for melting stereotypes and finding commonalities, however incremental.

We want to put a face to each of those hundreds – possibly thousands – killed or arrested since the Iranian election.

A fantastic tune by Pesare Bad critising the current Iranian regime.

The Situation in Iran

June 17th, 2009

Before turning to a brief analysis of some possible scenarios in Iran going forward, let us begin by acknowledging none of us (really, it is true!) can genuinely know what exactly is happening in Iran now several days into this remarkable crisis.

An in-depth analysis of what is going on in Iran by Gregory Djerejian. I found this via Andrew Sullivan’s blog post.

According to Wikipedia: Gergory Djerrejian is an Armenian-American, attorney, hedge fund manager, and blogger/creator of the weblog,

Clay Shirky is an American writer, consultant and teacher on the social and economic effects of Internet technologies.

This is a pretty fascinating discussion on recent events and the use of Twitter in Iran.
