State Department Tweets in Farsi, Follows Fake Ahmadinejad

The State Department began a Farsi language Twitter feed this weekend, in what looks like an attempt to inspire Iranians to follow the cues of the Egyptian people after the successful removal of President Hosni Mubarak.

USA darFarsi has Tweeted three times so far, first to encourage Iranians to join the conversation, then to accuse their government of hypocrisy in their support of the uprising in Egypt.

The feed follows a few journalists, embassy people, and Alec Ross, the ubergeek interdisciplinary Senior Advisor for Innovation to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
