Really interesting to think about the implication of Social Media in the latest Middle East revolutions ! To balance the Slate's article published by Kaitlin, have a look at this article "Did Facebook bring down Mubarak?"
quotation:
"The role of the internet in Egypt's revolution has definitely been overstated. If you look at the available data on the degree of internet penetration in the country as well as the number of mobile cellular subscriptions per 100 people, the percentage of population under age 15 and the degree of urbanization, some intriguing facts jump out."
Yesterday another article reacts on the same site: "why not call it a Facebook Revolution ?"
