Mishra's dismiss Twitter Revolution driving the Iran revolt

President Obama proved the power of the new networking tools of young folks. The internet and texting by mobile phone were a couple of ways that the Obama folks spread the words about his campaign. It worked, President Obama won the election themed Change.

This change theme is being applied to the aftermath of the Iran Election. The outcome of the election drove the folks to protest. The protest was by email and mobile telephone and Youtube.
Some claim twitter the low text of 14o character was the catapult for the million of folks roaming the street.

Not so fast, according to Worldfocus. Worldfocus interviewed Gaurav Mishra’s , Mishra;s suggest that Twitter may have played a part but it on the low end. Maintstream journalist unable to report as foreign reporters had to turn to the social media. One way for them to get information was to drive folks to twitter. So what they did was advertise twitter as the place to go to download video and pictures. So desperate was the mainstream journalists it did not matter that folks from Iran could be tracked on Twitter.

Not only was this a disservice, Worldfocus report that to suggest that twitter is the story when Iran is and should be the main story. However, because mainstream journalists can not get to the story they have to create a story. Social Media is the story rather than getting confirmed information directly from Iran. Iran Revolution belongs to its people. Mishra's gives an interview to Forbes on the so called 1st time revolution with social media.

Can't wait to see Mishra's on CNN real soon talking about the grassroot revolution continued from the President Obama campaign.
