Foreign journalists have been largely censored from covering protests in Iran over the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Twitter has emerged as the primary communication tool, both for protesters to organize, and for outside news organizations to gain insight into what's happening in Tehran.

The challenge for the average person is how to make sense of the massive amounts of (mostly useless) data on Twitter to find the relevant information. Enter the bloggers.

A number of journalist-turned-bloggers are combining investigative journalism with tips and "tweets" from people on the ground. These are several blogs that are sifting through citizen reports on Twitter and verifying information where possible.
