Abstract
Supporters of the opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi who had lost presidential elections in 2009 showed great activity online, but the coordination of protests took place mostly on the streets. It was not a «Twitter Revolution», as many opposition members called it, because most Iranians did not have an access to the network, and the opposition action - online and on the streets were not synchronized.
