In April, OR Books published Tweets from Tahrir, a book of tweets sent from Ground Zero of the democratic revolution that played out in Egypt last year. The book, its promotions declare, "brings together a selection of key tweets in a compelling, fast-paced narrative, allowing the story of the uprising to be told directly by the people in Cairo's Tahrir Square. History has never before been written in this fashion."

A recent study found that during the uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, Twitter users were more likely to get information from journalists, bloggers and activists than from news organizations.
“Both revolutions featured prominent use of social media, both by activists organizing the demonstrations, and by those disseminating or discussing news of the events locally and globally,” says the study, published in the International Journal of Communication.

Chroniques de la révolution égyptienne par alaa aswany

صدور الطبعة الفرنسية من كتاب تأريخ الثورة المصرية لعلاء الأسوانى
 السبت 29 أكتوبر 2011 - 10:50 ص ا بتوقيت القاهرة   باريس - أ ش أ

@AlaaElAswany   @alaaaswany    www.facebook.com/alaswany.fans

صدرت مؤخرا الطبعة الفرنسية من كتاب "تأريخ الثورة المصرية" للكاتب والأديب المصرى علاء الأسوانى عن دار نشر "اكت دو سود".  ويضم الكتاب حوالى خمسين مقالا كتبها الأسوانى أثناء وبعد الثورة المصرية فى جريدتى "المصرى اليوم" و"الشروق" المصريتين. وبهذه المناسبة تستقبل "بورصة العمل" فى باريس فى 14 نوفمبر المقبل الكاتب المصرى لتقديم الكتاب والإشتراك فى حلقة نقاشية يعبر فيها عن رأيه فى الثورة وما يجرى حاليا على الساحة المصرية فى ظل إقتراب موعد الإنتخابات البرلمانية المصرية التى ستبدأ فى 28 نوفمبر المقبل

Observateur et acteur très engagé dans les bouleversements dont ses romans faisaient pressentir l’urgence, Alaa El Aswany propose ici, tel un état des lieux, un ensemble de chroniques écrites avant, pendant et après le séisme de la révolution égyptienne, et cet homme si jovial, si compréhensif, si plein d’empathie avec les autres, se montre inflexible, inexorable dès qu’il s’en prend aux forces qui oppriment son pays.

How to win a protest? a message to share from Tunisia and Egypt

 To win you have gain some know-how to manage these difficult moment so you will succeed at the end.

Things to do during the protest:

1-      Put a wet  tissue dumped with vinaigrette on your face  + a plastic mask

2-      Breath onion during the protest so your nose will not get the gas inside

3-      Water and tear gas will never put the fear on the protesters

4-      Better to drink milk , pepsi or coca cola

5-      To prevent  the shock of the teaser , throw water plastic bag in the hand of the policeman so he will get the shock before you.

6-      Use black spray in the front glass of their cars

7-      Use plastic bags or oil to collect directly the tear gas – take care its hot

8-      Demonstrations should be carried out at night for various reasons

-          Diminishing chances of being arrested or identified.

-          Avoiding being photographed.

-          Exhausting the riot police since you demonstrate at night and sleep during the day while they are on extreme status of emergency. Your riot at night will make them unable to sleep and cause them to become weak.

-          Avoiding kidnapping operations, and dawn visitors.

9-      Never carry out suicidal missions for if you’re destined to die, then be it by your enemy bullet.

10-  Take advantage of the media for outside pressure is very important.

11-  Important: Please circulate this message from neighboring Tunis to all Egyptian brethren.

12-  To avoid electric shocks, wear plastic bags on your lower extremities supported by tapes as it is has been proved that it protects against electric shocks.

13-  Tunisian demonstrators have noticed that washing the face with CocaCola, Pepsi cause immediate relief of  the effect of the tear-gas grenades. This has been tested in Tunisia and Egypt and proved that their grenades had no effect.

14-  In order to disable the armored and security vehicles, insert a soaked-in-water piece of cloth in the vehicle exhaust to disable it. It is recommended that you wrap the cloth around a piece of wood before insertion. A sleeve of a shirt will do the trick. The vehicle will stop running for up to 7 seconds and consequently the water hose will cease to work and the vehicle will become like a piece of junk. Notice if you pull out the plug from the vehicle exhaust, the vehicle will function again.

15-  use flags and Whistle for talks and sending messages

16-  take pictures for the policemen and the tear gas item and keep the archive

17-  solidarity from #Tunisia and #tahrir #egypt square #socialMEDIApower @protestWatch #protest

18- issue press releases and do media interviews,

Things to do if wounded by a tear gas:

Don’t panic, it’s just some gas and it’s a temporary effect, don’t swallow the smoke or spit it , go back to an open clean area with oxygen and change places with your friends, breath slowly and deep,  take your time to recover, Wash your eyes with cold water and your face with cocacola or pepsicola

For the eyes: Use cold water only and not hot water - Wash with oil soap the infected area -

ask your friend to take out your contact lenses not with your fingers. - Change your clothes and stay in an open area and put your old clothes in a plastic bag

For the rescue team: Don’t force to open the eyes just pour cold water in the beginning

ثورة فى أرض النفاق!

السبت، 15 أكتوبر 2011 - 17:52  نبيل عمر

يتعجب المرء من كم الأخطاء التى ارتكبناها منذ صباح 12 فبراير وإلى الآن، أخطاء بالجملة، بعضها متعمد مع سبق الإصرار والترصد، وبعضها نقص خبرة وقلة معرفة، ويبدو أننا سقطنا فى فخ الأوهام الساذجة، وتصورنا أن رحيل حسنى مبارك عن السلطة هو المراد من رب العباد، وكافٍ تمامًا لأن تحل كل مشاكلنا من تلقاء نفسها، ودخلنا فى صراع شرس على تقسيم الغنائم والأسلاب، ولم نفكر فى كيفية إنقاذ مصر من مستنقع التخلف الذى تسبح فيه منذ قرون، أقصد تفكيرًا مجتمعيّا استراتيجيّا، أول خطوة هى بناء نظام جديد عصرى يستند إلى منظومة قيم حديثة فى العمل والإنتاج والتعليم والتفكير. وهذه الأخطاء الفادحة التى تكاد فى بعض منها تصل إلى حد «الجرائم» هى التى فرشت أمامنا الطريق إلى جهنم الفوضى والارتباك والتى وصلت إلى ذروتها فى أحداث ماسبيرو!

America's war against social media, a report by Lauren Lyster at Russia Today TV

Internet freedom has been tested by governments around the world. Now the US intends to concentrate its efforts in cracking down on social media. Recently, law enforcement shutdown cell phone service in a protest in San Francisco, and now in New York City the police department has formed a new unit to track down people who brag about or plan crimes on social media sites. Is the US declaring war on people's free speech online? Karen DeCoster, freelance writer and blogger, tells us how this is bad for Americans.
