[lbo-talk] The role of social media in the Egyptian uprising

[c b]

It is a plausible hypothesis that the New Social Media or Interactive
Media increased the efficiency and effectiveness in agitating,
propagandizing and organizing masses in Egypt's uprising over the Old
Social or Interactive Media.  Cellphones, laptops, email, facebook,
twitter, text messages filled with political messages instead of
apolitical messages could create a leap in political organizing.
