I just got a message through facebook saying this:
If you have a Twitter account, set your location to Tehran and your time zone to GMT +3.30. Security forces are apparently hunting for bloggers using location/timezone searches. The more people at this location, the more of a logjam it creates for forces trying to shut down […]
