Twitter users are sending out tweets about this Google logo.  They want to start a movement to get Google to change their logo for one day for the people of Iran and their current struggle for democracy and fair elections. 

You can see the logo at this website.  The site also has a straw poll asking if you want Google to change their logo for one day.  The current polling results: a whopping 98% saying "yes" and 2% "no."  

At the time of this writing, 73,987 have taken part in the poll.  72,285 have voted "yes" and 1702 "no." 

Not only are the people in Iran using Twitter and other social media to communicate, but people around the world are soliciting support via social media to help them.  Another way computers and social media are affecting current events in the world. 

See Google's logo yesterday for Igor Stravinsky.
