Iran Tech

In an attempt to keep up with recent events and perhaps to also give a voice to those protesting in Iran, Facebook and Google both added Persian/Farsi versions to their services.

Google translate is here.

Facebook blog post about the new feature is here.

In other news, Friendfeed has been blocked in Iran and it seems that now the main mode of social communication is via Twitter. Lastly, it seems that some “well known Iranian dissidents” are using orange as their color of protest now, instead of green. Unclear why just yet.
