Iran Watch

· 0 comments
We’ve been monitoring the Iran situation within Scout Labs for the last few weeks and its been very interesting to see the memes of conversation over even such a short period of time. Last week, in our “Iran” search, the new memes of conversation in the Frequent Words module included:
  • riots
  • twitter
  • election
This week, “riots” has been replaced with “protests”. Twitter is a top meme, but it’s old news (no longer orange.) The top new emerging memes in the last 24 hours include:
  • Obama
  • condemns
  • political
  • video
(referring to the Youtube video of the woman being execution on the streets of Iran that even Obama said that had indeed watched.)

Let’s hope we’re right.
