i have to strongly disagree
i am egyptian, and the revolution that started in egypt
in 25th Jan 2011, was more or less organized on facebook
on a facebook page that started few years earlier to condemn
the torture and killing of a young man "khaled Said"
it was even kinda a surprise to the twitter crowd
where most of the activists hanged out
in the two following years, twitter played a major role
in sharing information on whats happening in the streets
vs what the controlled media show
twitter and facebook did kill the web
they revolutionised the world, literally
- trentmb 11y agoIt's chilling, isn't it? Facebook/Twitter could have severely hampered (if not ended) the Arab Spring if they wanted.
- mavdi 11y agoI think your point sort of proves the case that a revolution that's guided by mass submissions of Twitter and sensationalism and populism rather than well thought out ideas will end up in the dust bin of history. Egypt is back exactly where it was pre Arab spring. If not a little worse. Hence the point this blogger makes.
