A few links for those following the situation in Iran:

The Guardian has a Live Blog on the situation with frequent updates.

There's a list of unsubstantiated rumors that have been flying around via Twitter.

And if you want to see some of the genuine news and unsubstantiated rumors that have been flying around by twitter, keep an eye on #iranelection.

Funny to relate: the one thing that is certain among the scuttlebutt on Twitter is that Iranian internet connections are sufficiently distrusted that everyone's retweeting heads-ups on where proxy servers are located.

WhatTheHashtag is good for real-time hashtag tracking, as you observe it's tricky to separate out the genuine news from the unsubstantiated rumours and speculation - all I will say is that, if the results of an election become a matter of opinion rather than a matter of fact, there's a major problem there.
