This article on ProCon.org will be helpful to be able to describe social media and its effects on the world in a general sense. I know my topic for my digital research project will be more focused on how social media helped kick start the Egyptian Revolution, but I also want to be able to use this information, along with specific historical examples, that will depict some down falls of social media for social change.

This article is a great bridge between the Syrian and Egyptian revolutions. It talks about how Syrians traveled to Cairo to participate in demonstrations. It also talks about how the Egyptians Activists and Syrian National Council worked together to set up tents, launch weekly protests, collect donations, host conferences, and pressure the nearby Arab League. It also talks about how Syrians would travel to Cairo to give the Egyptian media information on the Syrian Revolution to put out for them.
