Yep, nutters.

One of the interesting features of the Twitter feeds of the Arab Spring is how accurate they've been. Any given feed can be wrong, but once the feeds reach a certain critical mass, automatic error correction kicks in -- people call and tweet to sort out truth from fiction. Very interesting to watch what amounts to a digital public sphere come into existence.
