I've made a few posts lately regarding the use of technology for the purposes of organizing protests across the Northern African countries. Facebook, Twitter, and Blogging appears to be the method for communicating and organizing amongst these angry youth. I thought this was interesting to see how the Chinese are proactively preparing for potential uprising.
"Even China, worried about its citizens being inspired by the uprisings, disabled searches for the word "Egypt" on some internet services, underscoring Beijing's continued concern over the Internet and its potential to access anti-government information and organize opposition to China's ruling Communist Party."
