Twitter proves powerful in raising awareness of situation in Iran
Here’s a writing-on-the-web tip for you all. When you have a construction like this:
Election news from Tehran is front and center. Thousands of users have colored their avatars — the pictures that go next to their user names — green to show support for the Iranian opposition party candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi.
…try to rewrite the sentence. The word “green” really should have been included as part of the link, but that would’ve rendered the explanation of what an “avatar” is incorrect.
This, however, is pretty bad web accessibility.
