Iran Election Cyber Twitter YouTube Protest

  • Twitter, which are giving Iranian citizens and supporters of the government protests there new ways of involving themselves in the political struggle.
  • They've let Iranians and supporters of the protesters share information, even within the centrally controlled Internet service in Iran and connected people like Papillon to a country on the other side of the world.
  • Proxy servers are Web sites that let people visit parts of the Internet that would normally be blocked to them.

      Allowing people in Iran to speak up!

  • Web 2.0 is paving new routes around Internet censorship.
  • Nowhere is Internet activism more visible than on Twitter
  • t's amazing how naturally people who are not necessarily technical have found ways to organize information on-line and decide who to trust using things as simple as Twitter -- a 140 character micro-blogging service with a basic search feature. "It's a pretty incredible counter-intelligence network," he said.
  • proxy servers have become a critical conduit for information.
  • In recent days these social media networks are getting more important as mainstream reporters have been confined to their hotel rooms on government orders or forced to head home when their visas expire.On YouTube users can find street scenes in Iran, including videos of protesters being beaten and shot by police. "The traditional media is in some ways not able to provide it because there are restrictions placed on them by the Iranian government," said YouTube spokesman Scott Rubin ."It's the citizens stealing the story."

      News reporters assist in allowing civil disobedience. It mentions that on YouTube, there are certain videos that would not be shown on public television. However, by using the web, we are not limited in what we can see in the world. Things are not hidden from us. The web tells it how it is and doesn't beat around the bush. This is important. Citizens are telling the story. Afterall, shouldn't government be run by the people? This is what Thoreau believed and what he practiced resulting in the writing of his revolutionary essay "Civil Disobedience". Hearing, Tweeting, and Viewing the stories of the citizens, of those being attacked or denied certain rights creates an appeal to unite and defy government (in this case). But to do so civily.
  • "Twitter is such a cut-out-the middleman type of situation,"
  • This has made information available to a wider group of people, but it in addition to spreading information about proxy servers, it has made home-grown attack tools available to a wider audience.
  • But soon the anti-government activists realized that DOS attacks were maybe not such a good idea. Not only is it illegal in many countries to launch a DOS attack, but this type of activity also slows down the network throughout Iran, making it hard to get messages out.
  • Twitter, in particular, has proven particularly adept at organizing people and information, said Zittrain. Although Proxies are the most popular way of reaching Twitter, updates can also be sent via other Web applications, SMS (Short Message Service) or even e-mail. "It's a byproduct of the way Twitter was built," he said. "The fact that the APIs are so open has meant that there are already lots of ways to get data in and out of Twitter, that do not rely on direct access to Twitter.com."

Sexual Identity Online - M/Cyclopedia of New Media - 1 views

wiki.media-culture.org.au/...Sexual_Identity_Online

shared by becca_hay on 19 May 10 - Cached
  • Specifically, the opportunity for exaggerated, unreal portrayals of self lead many to question the validity of substantial, and truthful online interaction. As Jordan (1999: 88) argues, “…identity fluidity supports the masquerades and experiments of avatars…the ability to change gender, the ability to contact experts…â€?. In the physical world, such social experiments as playing with the alternation of gender or creating a completely different social background for the purpose of research, become far more complex and are less likely to occur. Alternatively, the Internet offers its users the potential to explore identity more easily and often most importantly, the ability to do so, anonymously.

web2.0 Berners-Lee communication

shared by Ben M on 19 May 10 - Cached
  • Well in some ways. The idea was that anybody who used the web would have a space where they could write and so the first browser was an editor, it was a writer as well as a reader. Every person who used the web had the ability to write something. It was very easy to make a new web page and comment on what somebody else had written, which is very much what blogging is about.
  • For years I had been trying to address the fact that the web for most people wasn't a creative space; there were other editors, but editing web pages became difficult and complicated for people. What happened with blogs and with wikis, these editable web spaces, was that they became much more simple. When you write a blog, you don't write complicated hypertext, you just write text, so I'm very, very happy to see that now it's gone in the direction of becoming more of a creative medium.
  • I feel that we need to individually work on putting good things on it, finding ways to protect ourselves from accidentally finding the bad stuff, and that at the end of the day, a lot of the problems of bad information out there, things that you don't like, are problems with humanity.

      This reminds me of how I think the Church uses these tools. Yes, the internet can be used for not-so-good things...but ultimately, it can be used and is meant to be used to expand the Church's work.

    This was posted by Peter Jackson's official "The Hobbit" Blog. It seems to correlate to a lot of the things we're talking about, its essentially someone remixing the LOTR films. I just find it amazing that it could get noticed by the film makers and then reposted to his several hundrad thousand followers.
