Keeping up with Events in Iran

More pics like the above can be found at: http://tehranlive.org/

I have been following the events in Iran since the election as they have unfolded thanks to being informed via Twitter (not CNN) of the situation. As Iran is now tossing out foreign journalists, I suspect that Twitter will become an even more vital source of information.

For now, I have assembled some of the sources that have informed my own account of events in the last few days and I would like to share them with you. My apologies that the links aren't pretty due to lack of time. I will be updating it from time to time.

Please let me know if there are important updates, or put them in comments section below, thanks:
