The U.S. State Department has apparently actually asked Twitter to postpone a scheduled maintenance downtime so that tweets from Iran can continue to the outside world following that country's sham elections this weekend, and CNN is all over it.

The "CNN FAIL" movement now even has its own blog.
More from Reuters on State Department and Twitter.
Among the recommended Twitter users from Iran to follow: @persiankiwi, who as of this moment has more than 22,000 followers.
Continuing its enthusiastic rush to utter irrelevance, the U.S. State Department blog Dipnote is silent on the entire affair.
