Twitter, it serves a purpose

Some people just use this thing called Twitter for personal enjoyment but as stated during the month of August in the New York Times, tweeting served far more importance. It's use in Iran gave it a new found respect. During their presidential election in June 2009, tweeting helped organize protests and disseminate information. It didn't just serve as a current update in someone's life but relayed information that was attempted to be cut off from the rest of society.
