Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 2

Abstract

The result of the Iranian elections of 2009 started a confusion of a new order. The demonstrations in the street were relieved by the platforms of social networks, Twitter and Facebook. The Iranians in Iran and outside Iran seized these tools to make their voice listen to the whole world.
