The Dignity Revolution

What have twitter and facebook ever done for us?

Obviously, keeping in touch with everyone but I have to say I have become increasingly excited over the last 3 months about the possibilities of this form of communication.Yes I am very slow out of the blocks. It's in the arena of public protest that it seems twitter and facebook are increasingly the means by which popular movements throughout the world are able to come together and mobilise.

I have been so moved by the peaceful Jasmine revolution in Tunisia; The anti-Government demonstrations centred on Tahrir Square in Cairo.. Social networking has helped facilitate the freedom to assemble peacefully and express oneself. Equally in Britain it seems to be having a similar effect in helping essential protests being organised by students and groups such as UK Uncut against the Government's ill thought out cuts ... Well done those people!

TwitterとFacebookは僕らのためにこれまでに何をしたっていうのか？
....と言う書き出しで、自分は遅れをとっているが、現在のコミュニケーション形態の可能性には興奮せざるをえない...そして般大衆の抗議の場において世界を通し大衆運動が共に集結できる手段であると思わされる。そして、チュニジアの平和的なジャスミン革命においては、こうしたソーシャルネットワークが自己を表現する自由を促進させていることにも心を動かされた...とも。

RadioheadのTwitterでも久々のつぶやき。
