      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 article to pair alongside my article about the pros and cons of social media. This article talks about the aftermath of the revolution and its ties to social media. Social media is now becoming more destructive for Egypt due to the fact that rumors and false information are being sent out and create distrust and anger between certain groups of people. This article blames the dangerous situations at hand on the lack of legal oversight on social media sites.

      This is a social media Facebook page from Egypt! It's a page dedicated to "Social Media Day" for Egyptians in Alexandria. This is a great example of the community coming together to celebrate something that gave way for a uprising and revolution. Although things might still be tough, it's nice to see Egyptians celebrating social media. The page gives helpful links to tutorials, articles and everything else social media related.

    Egyptian authorities have invited foreign software companies to help the government track online speech amid a sweeping crackdown on dissent. A twin bombing Monday killed two police officers. Egypt is tightening its control over social media by acquiring new software that would facilitate extensive monitoring of dissidents' communications, putting even stay-at-home opposition supporters at risk.

    There's been some backlash in the last few days against the idea that either Tunisia or Egypt were brought on by Twitter or a "Facebook Revolution." And certainly, it takes a lot more than the 21st century version of a communication system to persuade people to take to the streets and risk harm, imprisonment, or death.

    There's no doubt that the citizenry relied greatly on social media to network and organize during the Arab Spring, when areas in the Middle East and North Africa erupted in popular revolt during the early part of 2011. Platforms like Facebook and Twitter were used to call and coordinate protests, and also for sharing information on issues around the pro-democracy movement.

    This article offers a differing perspective than most, stating that social media was more of a contributing factor in the middle eastern revolutions rather than "the driving force." Another interesting aspect of this article is the fact that it was written very recently. I think it's interesting how the difference of opinion over time on how social media has impacted and is continuing to impact revolutions in this area.

    On 25 January 2011 hundreds of thousands of protesters started to gather in Tahrir Square and planted the seeds of unrest which, days later, finally unseated the incumbent president, Hosni Mubarak, after 30 years of power.

    For the first time in history, a social movement could be observed in real-time as it spread, coalesced around ideas, and grew exponentially in size and scale across the Internet. That is what News Group International - a Dubai based news management company - discovered in its recent comprehensive analysis of social media surrounding the uprising in Egypt.

    Could social media help build another uprising soon? Supporters of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi often claim that Egyptian internet activists are powerless and disconnected from reality. They say that activists are living in their own virtual bubble; however, recent incidents suggest otherwise. When the 'Arab Spring' began in 2011, the role social media played was undeniable.
