**Moderately pro twitter article alert**
It turns out that twitter has saved some lives, as it provided the only communication for Iranians in the middle of policital crisis, as their government blocked traditional methods of communication. Good for Twitter! I compare this to drinking your own urine when you are trapped in an earthquake. Your pee is helping you stay alive, but it is still pee. You don't have to keep drinking it. Acife Finneran may not agree with the pee analogy, but doesn't think twitter should get the nobel peace prize!
"And as for every other idiotic Twitter user out there with too much time on your hands; nobody cares that you missed your bus, that you like almond shower gel, or that you've just been dumped. Get a life."
For the record, I haven't always been so anti-Twitter, but all it took was one former US national security advisor to suggest that it deserves a Nobel Peace Prize and suddenly my hackles were rising.
The genius in question is one Mark Pfeifle, former aide to George Bush and a swooning admirer of the micro-blogging phenomenon. He reckons Twitter's ability to communicate the extent of the political crisis in Iran puts it right up there with Nelson Mandela and Aung San Suu Ky."
Side Note- Al Gore Created the internet!
