Egypt erupts in rpotest: Twitter is there

Nearly nine hours before CNN had any news of it all, the Egypt protest against government corruption was all over the Twitter. This came even as the government tried to block all communication, social media access and web traffic in general.

Twitter is proving once again it can empower people to make their own lives better; give a voice to those who are being forced into silence and possibly (maybe, just maybe) make th world a better place for all of us....
