I am not saying that the flow is 100% in one direction. That would be nonsensical. I'm saying the direction of influence is predominantly in one direction.

And Twitter has not driven the Iranian protests, though it is certainly a popular idea among Twitterers.

According to most of the people I've seen interviewed about it actually in Iran? No.

But I'm sure that it played some role.
