June 16: For the past four days in Iran, thousands of supporters of presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi have taken to the streets of Tehran to protest election results they're calling "fake and fraudulent" in the victory claimed by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The Where is My Vote? campaign - which began on Saturday as a rallying cry for the protests in Tehran - has since spread like wildfire on the web, sparking solidarity protests around the world and harnessing international action on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.  

Amidst heavy restrictions on foreign news organizations, Iranian citizens armed with mobile phones and computers have filled the void by uploading real-time videos, reports and tweets about the crisis as it unfolds.  So far we've seen considerable amounts of footage of rallies and marches happening throughout the country, as well as disturbing images of injured protestors and paramilitaries firing down on demonstrators.  

This AlJazeera piece describes how critical social media tools have been since the protests began:

And momentum seems to be growing by the minute - in the one hour since I began writing this post, 100 new members have joined the Where is My Vote group page on Facebook and at least five new international events have been added to Whereismyvote.org.
