As Stuart also noted, Twitter is playing a major role in real time chatter from Iran, in fact their role is so big that they have re-scheduled downtime so they keep the Tweets coming.  The Lede kept a running blog of updates today from the ground but they left off with this:

AP News reports tonight that “the opposition forces rallying behind Mousavi show no signs of backing down.” Stay tuned….
