It was always clear to me at the time that Twitter's claim to fame was in letting information about Iran events out of the country, when traditional media such as CNN appeared to some a little slow to react -- and this is another debate entirely, a more interesting one but one that the article does not address at all. Perhaps a few articles implied that Twitter was used for organizing resistance, as this article wants to refute, but that exaggeration, if it was one, does not seem widespread to me. I never encountered this claim before I read the foreignpolicy.com article.
