When the protests in Iran were happening I don't think I was convinced of Twitter's effect on fueling social movements. When they happened in Egypt I began to come around. When it started happening outside of my window it became difficult to ignore. There's no question in my mind that one of the driving forces behind this protest is social media, and in particular, Twitter. Interesting times.
