I have been captivated by this wave of protesting in Tunisia, Egypt, Iran before this, and so on. I've been captivated for a historical reason. I happen to know where the first social networking via computer network/telecommunications effort to lead a political action took place. It began in 1979 and the actual event took place in 1983.
If more curious-er, will spill the spuds, er, beans...
But these events in Egypt are definitely energetic.
