Editorial: Twitter alters politics, including in Moldova

ZDNet recently posted a guest editorial about the importance of Twitter for political change. Moldova comes up in the article.

An excerpt:

"I recently spoke to a U.S. Department of State sponsored delegation from Moldova. I followed the “Moldovan Twitter Revlolution” (#pman) in April when the Communist Party in that country tried to steal an election. Most members of the delegation were reporters and told me how student leaders used Twitter to organize flash mobs in the capital that garnered international attention."
