It's not about what you had for lunch anymore

I've been looking for info on the Iranian election since Saturday morning. I've seen little dribs and drabs showing up on CNN, and some rather insulated reportage from the NYTimes.

Then I tried the #Iranelection hashtag over at Twitter this afternoon.
Twitter is on the ground, with documentation, photos, and real voices. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not the only old guard that is in danger today. Traditional medial has been lapped as a news source today, and we're going to watch them play catchup in these situations for years to come.
