Let's take a look today at some of what's being written about and done around the intersection of technology and the the evolving events in Iran. (Past roundups are here, here, here, here, and here.)
New York Times Iran correspondent Nazila Fathi pieces together what is known about Neda Agha-Soltan, the 26-year-old woman whose death was captured on video that then spread around the world in short order. Fathi notes one aspect of Soltan's death that is evident when you look at many of the photos and videos of the post-election protests in Iran: women are very often at the forefront of the resistance. An video companion to Fathi's piece, produced by Jigar Mehta, features Robert Mackey, who has been doing remarkable live blogging of the events in Iran on the Times' The Lede blog. (In case you're curious about how Mackey has been keeping his head above water with all the information flowing about Iran, the video reveals that one tool in his reporter toolbox is Twitterfall.)
Via Mackey, the Translation and Interpretation Initiative for Iranian Protesters, or TIIIP, is, as described on the project's wiki, "an ad hoc initiative to produce free, publication-ready translations and high-quality interpretations of the written and spoken communication streaming out of Iran in the Farsi (Persian) language in the form of e-mails, YouTube videos, Facebook entries, press releases, etc."
On the censorship front, David Isenbergcalls into question yesterday's Wall Street Journal story that alleges that Nokia and Siemens had provided the Iranian government with the tools to engage in deep packet inspection of Internet traffic.
