At this moment when I am writing this blog, twitter is exploding with the tags Iranelection, Tehran, Iranians, Moussavi

This is the aftermath of the election which Ahmadinejad has won by landslide victory but saw millions of people on the streets of Iran opposing it. This is not a new phenomena considering that it has happened umpteen times in the history of World. Many revolutions has been done like this.

What is different in this is the way the online media, web in particular is participating in it. At this moment if you go to twitter you will realized how the moment by moment picture is getting updated.

Mir Hossein Moussavi at the moment for Iranian is not just a candidate who lost the presentational election but represents the crusade against the so called unfair means that Ahmadinejad employed for winning the election. Moussavi represents the hope for Iranians for a more just society and a better interaction with the world. The hope for growth and good life. A painter and architect, Iranians are looking to him to paint and architect the new Iran. At this moment we donot know how the event will turn but it is for sure a new kind of revolution that is happening. There are people on the ground and there are people sitting in front of their computer all around the world participating in this revolution.

It started with a twitter message from Moussavi “ALL internet & mobile networks are cut. We ask everyone in Tehran to go onto their rooftops and shout ALAHO AKBAR in protest #IranElection.”
