Comment on It’s Not Twitter or Facebook, It’s the Power of the Network by DougS

While I agree that real-time communications with a world-wide reach can help give "power to the people", I sure hope that is what the case is in Egypt. Unfortunately, I think the Mubarak dictatorial regime will be replaced by an islamic extremist dictatorship that will definitely not give power to the people. That is at least a possibility. So while social media can be great for creating a flash mob in a mall or in a country, it does not necessarily mean the end result will be freedom for the people.
