Twitter can be a great source of information , but only if you can independently verify what's being said. The problem is, there's no way for us to do that in Iran, except to rely on the more traditional media and journalists. That's what always gets me when I read Twitter boosters go on about how Twitter is better than the news because it's "real time." How much of an advantage is being "real-time" if you aren't also reliable?
