Talk:Haystack (software)

Notability
This piece of software was just featured on a BBC 2 (millions of viewers) documentary. The reason for this being that the software was used during the 2009 Iranian protests to circumvent censorship of Twitter. Searching for references.  - ARC Gritt TALK  00:19, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Newsweek: Needles in a Haystack
A Newsweek article provides background on the origins of Haystack software. Austin Heap is credited with creating the software in response to the Iranian government's supression of cyber dissidents.

 * hey, dont redlink it here, redlink it in the article, silly. oh and dont add refs here.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:28, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The Newsweek article is probably entirely useless. They clearly did not do well enough in checking their facts.  In fact, it should probably be removed as a citation since it has been proven to be a poor source of information and many of Austin's claims about Haystack have been discredited.G8briel (talk) 06:34, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
