Subject: Twitter and Iran election

What's happening right now on Twitter (in terms of sheer volume [1]
and use of real-time communication to fight censorship [2]) has no
precedent (to my knowledge) in the history of social media.

Does anyone know of a good visualization service (similar to the one
mapping the US election [3]) to appreciate this?
