On March 19, Direct Action to Stop the War successfully used Twitter for coordinating protest information. Today, Olympic Torch SF will attempt to pick up where DASW left, and expand the use of twitter into an open-publishing platform for news on the San Francisco Olympic Torch relay and the related protests.

For ongoing text-based coverage, please follow the SFTorch twitter account.

Nude Torch Run - San Francisco - April 9
12:30 pm sharp near the front of Tacqueria Pancho Villa
Pier 1, the Embarcadero
the next building north of the Ferry Building
Look for torch(es) labeled "Human Rights"
After the Official Run passes (estimate 1:10 pm), we will jog/walk fast to Bay/Embarcadero. When the Official Torch Run returns from the Marina District, we will follow the Official Run to the closing ceremony at Justin Herman Plaza. I estimate the total distance at a little over one mile.

Torch Disappears Into Pier 48 Warehouse
Updated 1:42 p.m.: Relay route shortened after clashes along the Embarcadero. It's unclear when the runners will emerge.

All tv stns unsure where torch is now at... maybe in a cop wagon maybe on a boat - no one knows!

Shame as the whole point of the protests is to show opposition to the chinese regime policies and not to stop the olympics - and the best way atm to do that is along the torch route.

Let's see...

"bizarre" is the buzzword from uk bbc / sky live channels as they watch a live feed of the torch now on the ground with runner without knowing where it is they're looking at!

- twitter has the evasive torch pegged on van ness avenue nr city hall.
