"Twitter's impact inside Iran is Zero"

The website Chartingstocks.net has been doing some investigating of the "Twitter" revolution in Iran, and they have come up with some very telling information.  Their investigation led them right to the most obvious source, Israel and Richard Perle's favorite newspaper, the Jerusalem Post.  If you were wondering why every American news network now has a twitter bureau, this is the reason why.  I may have been reading too much James Petras recently, but it is scary how the direction of the American media is often determined in the Jerusalem offices of Netanyahu and Sharon.

The #IranElection hype has nothing to do with democracy and everything to do with effecting US public opinion. Why are “Iranian’s” microblogging in English and on Twitter (which they do NOT use)?  According to Mehdi Yahyanejad, manager of a Farsi-language news site based in Los Angeles,“Twitter’s impact inside Iran is zero..here, there is lots of buzz, but once you look . . . you see most of it are Americans tweeting among themselves.” The Alexa rankings confirm that Twitter’s penetration in Iran is nearly 0%.
