Egypt’s web of protesters — RT

Egypt’s web of protesters — RT: "The unrest that has been sweeping North Africa over the past month is now raging in Egypt. Protesters use Facebook and Twitter to organize and coordinate rallies, and calls for new protests gather several thousand supporters within hours of posting.
Hacktivists trying to oust Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak have gathered in the streets of the country’s resort cities and Cairo. Seven years ago, when Facebook made its appearance on the internet, it was regarded solely as a place where users could rate photos and track each other’s private life. Today, 65 million Egyptians have mobiles, and more than half of them have access to the internet and are registered on Facebook which makes social networks an extremely influential resource. The messaging system and private online groups allow users to plan the time and venue of the next protest without the authorities controlling them."
