Abstract

The political events that transpired during and after the 2009 Iranian election garnered global attention, particulary due to the purported importance of Twitter. As a platform- independent service for communication, Twitter has become a preferred vehicle to broadcast unfolding events in Iran both within the country and to an international audience. The use of Twitter to communicate about these events is a striking instance of the memetic spread of behaviors and ideas online.
