Social Media As a Weapon In Egypt

oxide7 writes "The internet and social media sites have become a battlefield between the Egyptian government and protesters. From the article: 'Facebook has at least two pages, Operation Egypt and one titled Egypt's Protests. The former carries calls to arms, asking for volunteers to mount distributed denial of service attacks. The latter has posted messages and videos, such as one that said the Ministry of Awqaf which is in charge of religious endowments, might work with the Ministry of the Interior to stop Friday prayers.'"

The Tunisian uprising was called Jasmine Revolution. If the Egyptian thing pans out they'll assign some new unrelated color.

Set the naming conventions according to the social media outlet which was instrumental in fomenting it. For example:

Twitter Revolution in Tunisia
Facebook Revolution in Egypt
Github Revolution in Jordan
