      . On January 25, 2011, Egyptians took to the streets in  Cairo, Alexandria, and some other places in the so called Day of Revolt, concentrating their  grievances on legal and political matters. Rather than a typical small protest, the Day of Revolt  exploded into a monumental moment in Egypt's history because of social media. Social media  did not cause Egypt's revolution; however, it accelerated the movement. Viral videos, such as  Asmaa Mahfouz's, and the suicide of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia created a surge of emotion in  Egyptians, persuading them to protest.  Egyptian protestors used Facebook and Twitter to get people out on the streets within the  country and YouTube to let the world know what was happening. By using tools that the regime  underestimated, activists were able to spread hope, not only to Egyptians, but also worldwide,  encouraging other repressed populations to attempt something similar in their countries.  Because of the protests, President Mubarak stepped down and turned his power over to the  Supreme Council of the Armed Forces; however, at the time of publication, protests continue in  an effort to speed the process of what many Egyptians see as extinguishing the last remnants  of the old regime. Without social media allowing Egyptians to communicate with the outside  world, the government would have been able to quickly suppress the protests.

      Role of Social Media in the Revolution Philip Howard (2011) quoted an activist in Cairo as saying, "We use Facebook to schedule the  protests, Twitter to coordinate, and YouTube to tell the world." This statement sums up the  use of social media in the protest. Newsweek.com offers a collection of videos that are posted  chronologically: http://www.newsweek.com/2011/01/28/youtube-captures-scenes-from-egypt-protests.html.  Newsweek calls it the Facebook Revolt; in fact, it could also be called the Twitter Revolution, the  first of its kind. However, not everyone agrees with the Facebook Revolution concept. Malcom  Gladwell believes that the influence of social media is limited, and the revolutions would have  happened anyway: "I mean, in cases where there are no tools of communication, people still get  together. So I don't see that as being… in looking at history, I don't see the absence of efficient  tools of communication as being a limiting factor on the ability of people to socially organize"  (Ingram, 2011).

  • The wildfire flame of social networking burned quickly. In just a few weeks, Ghonim's page — We are all Khaled Said — had accumulated 130,000 fans, according to the New York Times. Ghonim this week said that the page has 375,000 followers. (The English-language site visible to U.S. Facebookers has just over 71,000 followers.) In a country with around 5 million Facebook users, that is a large percentile, and doesn't count Facebook users who may visit the page without "liking" it.

    AFP - RELAXNEWS (English International Version) Two film stars, Michael Douglas and Paul Rudd, are to share the title role in the next film from "The World's End" director Edgar Wright, due 2015. After Robert Redford's stint in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," Marvel has recruited another legendary actor for an upcoming blockbuster in Michael Douglas. The 69-year-old will become the face of Henry Pym and hand over the Ant-Man moniker to Scott Lang, the new hero played by Paul Rudd. Ant-Man first appeared in print in 1962 and has become the alter ego for a number of Marvel characters; the film sees Lang succeed Pym as the electronics whizz in charge of wearing the Ant-Man mantle, able to shrink, grow, and communicate with insects. Dated for July 31, 2015, "Ant-Man" should also result in the character's addition to the supporting cast of the next Avengers film, set for mid-2018.
