But I wanted to post it anyway. Google has really stepped it up during the Iran crisis, they are pretty much as valued as twitter is right now when it comes to information streaming out of Iran. Not only has google laxed it's policies on violent content for youtube, but they also launched their persian translator for Google Translate, making it easier for people across the world to communicate and decipher what is going on in Iran. Once again, props go to Google for its putting the people and the information first. There is no business model for that, just the human heart.
