#iranelection continues to be the top trending topic on twitter for another day as events continue to unfold in Iran. There is a lot of information there, but there is a lot of false information as well. With that, let me highlight and comment on some of the best material I’ve seen.

One of the most tweeted articles recently has been the Boston Globe’s photo montage of Iran’s Disputed Election. As I write this, it has received 1399 comments.

Several YouTube videos often get tweeted, including a video from the June 15 protest against election fraud in Iran (BBC Persia), a video of shootings in Iran, a video of doctors and nurses protesting at a major hospital in Tehran and a video from French television about developments in Iran

Two written stories provide more details: Lindsey Hilsum of Channel 4 writes A day in Iran I will never forget and an anonymous note on Facebook from a person in Tehran powerfully tells of their experience.

For a very different perspective, read Mohammad Sagha post about his trip to Tehran.

A big issue on Twitter is the question of how you know which sources to trust and what people can do to help. One post went up entitled Iran Election Cyberwar Guide for Beginners. As I write this, the link forwards to a site saying the account has been suspended. I suspect it is because the site got so many hits that it went above its bandwidth allocation. Fortunately, the content has showed up in a post on Boing Boing and other sites.

Another tweet pointed to On Strategic Nonviolent Conflict from the Albert Einstein Institute. It is nearly 200 pages, but is full of valuable information. There is great concern about the safety of people tweeting in Iran, about infiltrators and efforts of the Iranian Government to shut down access to all media.

This is illustrated nicely in two competing blog posts. Charting Stocks has a ‘proof of Israeli efforts to destabilize Iran via Twitter’. TEDChris does a very good job of challenging the ‘evidence’.

It isn’t just the new media that is getting hit. Even Al Jazeera has been asked to close their bureau in Iran. There are numerous reports of other news agencies being forbidden to report about what is going on in Iran. One tweet summed it up quite nicely, Foreign press ban? Not in the age of Twitter. That's soooo 20th century

It seems like everyone has their slant on larger discussion about media. Could Iran shut down Twitter?, Did Twitter Just Overthrow Mainstream Media?, How Iran’s hackers killed Big Brother, The Revolution Will Be Twittered, Iran Protest Tech Tools at Work>, Iran’s Twitter Revolution and Social Networks Spread Defiance Online.

Beyond that, there is plenty of humor. One that I liked was a cartoon of students protesting the stolen election in Iran and responding to a comparison to Florida in 2000 saying “We reject the American way of life.” Andrew Sullivan has The Mouse That Roared, and First Door on the Left has a cartoon about the Iranian elections featuring K. Harris.

Meanwhile, back in Iran, there are reports of Iran blocking Google Mail, Yahoo, SSH/SSL and cellphones. There are reports of power outages, Hizbollah militants fighting on the side of the Iranian Government against the Iranian people and more attacks against universities.

As I write this, more and more tweets pile up, but it is time to put up this post and then do a little other work.
