I heard this fantastic story on NPR the other day. In the wake of the Iranian election protests have erupted in support of Mousavi, claiming that the election was rigged in favor of Ahmadinejad. Foreign news journalists have been barred from covering many of these protests so they are relying on native Iranians for photos and videos. Some Iranians are even accessing Twitter to post updates about what is going on.
How are they accessing twitter? A friendly citizen of the U.S.A. has allowed his home computer to be used as a proxy server specifically for Iranians to post updates on the protests.
Why is this fantastic?
DO YOU REALIZE WHAT THIS MEANS!!!
Using this technology I could stream Hulu from outside of the U.S.!
Thanks again Iran!
Now to find someone willing to let me use their computer as a proxy.
