Iranian protesters use Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to spread live updates. On Sunday when the second wave of protesters hit the streets. Photos and videos of live updates were uploaded to social networking sites and the updates kept coming. Taking citizen journalism to a whole new level. With western and world news bureaus unable to operate out of Tehran. The onus fell on it's own citizens to keep the world updated on what's going on.

The associated pres also mentioned that cell phone use and text messages services were restricted within Iran.

Images posted on Twitter and Facebook or other sites have had to be blurred to protect people from the government who would crack down on them. Bloggers have also taken up the task of spreading news about the conflict.
