6-28-9 Twitter Revolution- Iran Revolution Update- Using DM on twitter to bypass search problems
All of our insider intelligence, as well as our empirical experiences, and established assumptions about the nature of human behavior points to a regime change in a normal historical cycle lasting as long as 10 years, but in the twinkling of human communication powered by microblog nations forming from the ether of useless exchanges, the dialogue has been accelerated so that a people can form more complete pictures of the facts than ever before, accepting a level of misinformation, spam, and gossip, and being wary of every exchange.
In the overflow of video support documenting verbal stories, truth wills out, to some degree, but in the end it is the reputation alone that gives us a sense of confidence in that uttered truth. These Iranian Freedomists, in a trickle-down effect, benefited from the mind of microblogging, the fractal that cannot be pintpointed at the source, can contain the whole within its minuscule sum, but cannot own the streams, the flow of information.
Those who are tapping into the mind of the mesh are translating their new realities to their family and friends around them. Information is quick to spread amongst the Iranians through word of mouth. Every night, without fail, the rooftops sing with “Alluha Akbar”. The zeitgeist of a people is engaging with the massive machine of the Iranian regime at a pace and a level never seen in human history. Agents on both sides are adapting at remarkable rates, the process of moving towards complete dissociation has been accelerated by the rapid exchange of responses and counter responses.
Debates that could take years to conduct between large networks can now take place almost as fast as peer to peer exchange. But in this struggle, the Iranian people have been thrown a roadblock: twitter search failure.
We saw a remarkable rise in new Iranian contacts. The awful truth for the IRG tweeters (Iran Revol Guard) was that for every Iran tweeter that silenced, 10 more appeared. The evidence of this comes from the decline in sophistication in the use of these twitter accounts (counting only what we consider to be reliable insiders). The early leaders are now mostly gone, with a few still floating in and out with a declarative tweet.
But the new Iran tweeters are learning quickly, right now suffering from Twitter’s search engine failures, failures that have been rumored to be caused by IRG hackers, but we have seen no evidence to support such claims. They are rumors to be taken into account very seriously, as it goes without saying that the most powerful feature of twitter is its search feature, without which novice tweeters will have a difficult time reaching us.
We are sure that DMing will begin to developed further. A list of credible outside Iranians, as we all are who are supporting our Iranian brothers and sisters, should be supplied to the reliable insiders through DM, but not publicly broadcast because then the IRG could easily monitor the clone Iranians outside. as well as follow our followers, etc more easily. The list should include no less than 200 reliable outside tweet sources for the reliable insiders to tweet their videos, messages out through.
When one of the 200 gets a tweet, we DM it to no less than 5 others on the list, and coordinate our first tweets to maximize our message within one another’s streams.
twitter.com/freedomist has long been one of the strongest tweeters for Iran, our account, and we want to be one of the 200, and to be able to recommend our list of reliable news tweeters, people like twitter.com/jilevin twitter.com/ericatweets as two examples of many we would recommend.
There are already many folks out there bringing lists out daily of the IRG tweeters, reliable outside tweeters, and if you DM us your link to your list, we will begin to put your links out regularly through our network so we can quickly, but in private DMs and phone conversations (everyone must be phone verified to be one of the 200- or whatever number we pick), not in public tweets or posts.
Please DM the Freedomist if you are already working on this project or if you would like to be involved in the selection process of the list of 200. We assume no originating or centralizng rule here, nor will we sumbit to such a solution. We true news tweeters have a fair idea of who tweets and how they tweet, and who is covering Iran reliably, diligently. We must, however, get this list formed asap. Even if twitter gets search back, it could go again tomorrow.
We have some data from sources that are not deemed completely reliable that twitter is facing cyber warfare from the IRG, that twitter is battling with the State Department over allowing the IRG tweeters to keep tweeting because the State Department is tracking their usage, their habits for any insight into what’s really goin on in Iran.
From a logical perspective, measuring the nature of human behavior, it would seem natural that government would see an advantage to allowing the IRG tweeters to keep tweeting and that Twitter, seeing its users being polluted by IRG racism and hate, seeing users watch the IRG tweeters violate twitter terms over and over again, almost being protected, would want to stop them from tweeting.
These open paths into twitter also allow the IRG hackers to follow the streams into twitter, attacking key elements, such as search.
Logically, these types of rumors make sense, but our evidence points more to the inability of twitter to handle the worldwide influx of tweets driven by one major worldwide event after another, the birth of the news tweet world.
Twitter search is experience difficulties because tweeters are using search more than ever (the power of the rumored-t0-be dead hashcode) taxing systems designed for far less usage. Twitte has to constantly upgrade WHILE keeping itself online. It hasn’t quite caught on to mirroring, where you always have two networks, one is the last updated network, the second is the next updated network in process of being prepared (tested by automated bots, etc).
The install of the second update could eventually occur in less than 20 minutes, and include an updated version that has been well-tested so that minimal glitches appear (bots can never mimic human behavior, only usage).
But until twitter gets to that world, let us not give in to conspiracy theories, but rather focus on the practical need to have redundant means of communication, the DM, after all, greater use of the DM will also begin to produce issues).
