Delay Maintenance - Twitter sociopolitically relevant.

Twitter, this responsibility is not one to be taken lightly. Given the extraordinary circumstances, we beg you to reconsider.

We know it's your network providers- it's their responsibility to make it work for Iran and it's your responsibility to make them make it work.

Cmon, how hard can it be?

please don't shut down for maintenance tonight. the freedom-seeking people of Iran desperately need Twitter right now!!!

I'm a 33-year old male from the U.S. Over the last few days I've been just blown away at the power of 140 characters. I never thought I would sign up for Twitter, but I did today. Postpone this service interruption, and it will not go unnoticed by people like rboote and myself, who have thought of Twitter as being good for nothing more than the banal self-absorbed chatter of superficial hipsters.

Besides being good for your image, I want to suggest that you have a moral obligation to do everything in your power to keep open one of the last lines of communication between the millions of people struggling for democracy in Iran and their supporters throughout the world. Being able to provide a voice for oppressed people is a tremendous gift - this is a chance to show the world that you recognize the gravity and responsibility associated with that power.

Thank you, Twitter/NTT, for rescheduling!

Thank you

This is awesome, they listened to the people. Thank you!
