Importance of social networks

Hey guys,

this blog entry will be about the importance of social networks. In order to emphasise the significance of social networks I would like to bring up the current situation in Iran. The Irani government is prohibiting any Western news coverage because it does not want the truth about the elections to be revealed. Therefore many young Iranis are filming the demonstrations against the election result in order to have a proof for the enourmously high number of people participating and to show the riots which are also part of the demonstrations. These videos are uploaded on Facebook, Twitter or other social networks. This way the videos are spreading all over the world and other countries see what is really going on in Iran. Iran has a very young population with an age average of 25.8 years. 70 % are under 30. This is an indicator for the high usage of the internet and the mentioned social networks. These networks help a lot and may hopefully soon play a very important role for a political recommencement in Iran!
