• The deeply distressing video is becoming a defining moment in Iran’s disputed elections, in both social media and mainstream publications.
• Mashable blogger Pete Cashmore • On the ramifications of this awful, awful video (note: *incredibly* graphic content, please don’t say we didn’t warn you), which has gotten far-reaching mainstream recognition since Mashable posted it yesterday. The woman in the video, Neda, was shot directly in the heart despite the shooter having a clear shot at her. Her death has had the side effect of creating a moment for protesters to rally around. Could Neda’s death have the same significance as Tank Man did? Time will only tell. • source
