It’s hardly necessary to say anymore that Twitter is the main social network still accessible within Iran, and it simply has to stay up tonight. It’s become too important to take a few hours off.  Why? Because roughly twelve hours ago an anonymous Iranian twitter user I and many others have come to know as @Change_for_Iran during his almost non-stop over the past three days sent one last message sent as he was leaving for that five mile long Mousavi rally at Azadi Square: “it’s worth taking the risk, we’re going. I won’t be able to update until I’m back. again thanks for your kind support and wish us luck”

He hasn’t started posting again yet. But when he can, if he can [inshallah], Twitter should be there.
