    We have discussed how painful it is reading the crap most people (I am looking at you Coach Weis!) post on their Twitter.

    There is another side to these new social medias and that is... they subvert the 'traditional media' and often bring you a more human, non-corporate side of the story.

    For example, the people's revolution in Iran.

    It is pretty interesting that something as new as Twitter is playing an important part in keeping the world informed.
