Egyptian protesters march and Tweet

Despite the fact all Internet Service Providers have been shut down in Egypt, the people can still access Twitter. Thanks to a sneaky (brilliant) move by Google, folks can post a Tweet by calling a special phone number and leaving a voice message. It's called Speak2Tweet.
Twitter has been a means of getting information out of Egypt even as the government there has attempted to shut down all communication. CNN crews have been accosted and had equipment taken, ISP's are gone, wireless networks are spotty--but at least we have the Twitter to know what is going on.

@Jnoubiyeh #Egyptians from all walks of life, religious and secular, affluent and poor, have united under 1 common purpose: #Revolution. #Jan25 #Egypt

@JordiLishious Egyptians Gather to March Against Mubarak as Talks Offered

@AJEnglish With protestors back on the streets in #Egypt, we continue our live uncensored coverage. Watch: http://aje.me/ajelive #cairo #tahrir square

@litfreak The longer this goes on, the more the world sees how stubborn and brutal a dictator Mubarak is and how incredible #Egyptians are. #Jan25

@ulissesmattos "Walk like one million Egyptians". (The Bangles)

@tomgara Iranian media think #jan25 is an Islamic anti-American revolt. So does American media, and Israeli. The only people who don't are Egyptians.

@monaeltahawy Super excited March of a Million #Egyptians has started! What a wonderful day of determination and demand for freedom! Yalla #Egypt! #Jan25

@msafdar85 The great march against Mubarak brings together hundreds of thousands of Egyptians - http://tinyurl.com/4j49y3x - Ranasafdaralikhan

@nonnal Now THAT's supporting others -- Google, Twitter build Speak to Tweet for Egyptians http://t.co/HHZJJrm via @cnet #egypt

@pourmecoffee Egyptians camped out in Cairo. For Americans, think of it as like the release of new Apple product if Apple made freedom.

@shabbirh #Millions of #Egyptians heading towards #presidential #palace - #Mubarak nearing his end #egypt #presstv #tahrir http://bit.ly/ihSF9j

@ladyb84 RT @GoogleArabia: we are trying to spread these numbers among Egyptians: +16504194796 & +390662207294. Speak to Tweet. #jan25 #Tahrir Square

@baldaufji 1 million Egyptians just became mayor of Tahrir Square on Foursquare.

@CineversityTV Organized, civilized, determined... dear Egyptians, you've truly made us all SO proud! Keep it up, please! #Tahrir #Egypt #Jan25

@Yafa48 Moroccans support Egyptians in Rabat !! Long live Arab world #Jan25

@unraptured if nothing else I hope Egyptians gain the right to never hear that shitty Bangles song again

@news_for_laughs Aljazeera wants to know who will rise as a leader #Egypt #cairo #Tahrir #Jan25 Egyptians should not disclose yet

@aidadoll I love how #Egyptians from all walks of life, are uniting together for freedom. #PrayForEgypt

@playinart_1 egyptians are providing food and beverage to the protesters, some people are already a few days at the square.

@xXKelly82Xx Millions of Egyptians heading towards presidential palace - Mubarak nearing his END Up to two million protest... http://bit.ly/fd6aPb

@smilebluemonday @Starbuck_WOI the Egyptian museum has such complicated issues, starting w/ the history of arab vs ethnic egyptians.

@Jnoubiyeh Al Jazeera: Over 100 protesters have been murdered in the city of #Alexandria alone since the uprising in #Egypt began. #Egyptians #Jan25

@sanasaleem While Muslim Protestors prayed today, Christian Egyptians formed human chains to protect them. Solidarity,strength and co-existence.
