So much about Iran seemed to be coming from Twitter, so I joined. It seems to be a great way to send a message to a group, as the protestors in Iran have been doing. And there are also messages you might want to get. You can keep up with tweets from CNN, the Nation or Perez Hilton, if you wish.
I think that if I had a young children and a scattered family, it might be fun to have a family page on which grandparents might find a cute tweet. And there’s a cat who writes a daily haiku, along with ones we noted earlier whose to-ings and fro-ings are tracked on Twitter; that’s Penny and Gus.
