I have been on twitter for a very long time and was very surprised that many of the so called Iranian twitters pupped up and got 1000s of followers in a very short time so I did an unscientific follow up on them based on the time they twitts and what they say, I tried to contact them and only managed to get in touch with only 2, one in the US who is living in the UK right now (not in the list) and the second one was Gita who was quoted as being in Iran by many ppl sicne she was twitting in Farsi. This is as I said highly innaccurate but interesting to observe for the next time since most of these so called Iranian tiwitters start sending messages between 9:30 A.M European time and 11 or 12 pm european time, and others start writing around 11:30 EU time and end up around 3-4 A.M EU time which does not make sense for a person who lives in Iran unless they have a very odd sleeping hours. Cheers, /Farhad http://twitter.com/madyar Always gets on around noon EU time, very active, sends 100s of twits per day. http://twitter.com/persiankiwi Highly reported by media, ALWAYS sends messages in EU time, probably in the UK http://twitter.com/mousavi1388 Probably in Iran, but mostly repeats what others have sent, LOTS of rumers comes from himm highly inaccurate reporting, source of the 'mousave under house arrest' news http://twitter.com/IranElect Started recently, definitely in the US (east coast) http://twitter.com/iran09 Hard to say, he twits all the time, always from his computer using FireFox, and pretends he is actually THERE! http://twitter.com/Gita She is one of the few who actually responds to ppl. She admitted she does is not living in Iran "right now" but that "she lives in Iran" caught her when she said that she had called her relatives "in Iran" to check things out in Farsi but said differently in English! http://twitter.com/StopAhmadi One of the most famous ones, his time of sending is like the US east coast ALWAYS, never responds to people and acts like he is sitting in the head quarter of Mousavim lots of BS, but lots of good news too, mostly repeated from others. |
