Don’t tell him, but I’m going to pass the blame to my editor who was responsible for the picture!
@Little Richardjohn – Indeed. A very good point. Perhaps it’s a matter of attitude. Web-savvy journalists might see ‘leads’, while their less aware counterparts might see ‘rumours’. The New York Times noted the other day that through Twitter “the news tips that reporters have always relied upon are now being aired in public.” More here – http://bit.ly/fJS4j

Never mind dozens of leads all saying much the same thing, as was often the case on Twitter this week.
And what about the images and videos, how many of those are just ‘rumours’?

And so what’s printed above reading “twitter” is both farsi and arabic, no difference.
About farsi in twitter. twitter, or any other software for that matter, only need to support UTF encoding system, and if so –that nowadays all softwares do,– they automatically support all the languages in the world. Only to read them in your personal computer, you need to have installed that characters into your system.
