His point was the 5 million Internet users in Egypt are the people who do read. Tunisia is very interesting this week!

One of the issues I was exploring on my trip to Africa was the expansion of the use of our Martus software there. When we started working on Martus four years ago, we didn't look too closely at Africa. We assumed that Martus would require PCs and telecommunications that didn't exist there. Times have changed dramatically. Cybercafes are found in quite poor areas.

The political uprisings in Egypt for the past week have sparked the tiresome debate again – can social media create and spread revolution? The truth is that, while social media played a role in getting information out quickly, it was Al Jazeera (a traditional media outlet) that provided mass new coverage and fed it to US newsrooms who then repurposed it. “It's actually been interesting to watch as a case study in the enduring power of traditional media.

We saw how Twitter changed information-sharing in 2011 Egypt, after all. The nonprofit sector thrives on a community of rich storytelling. Whatever form that storytelling takes, from photo essay to member video, story-driven content is dynamic, shows impact, and can attract new potential donors. Many of these stories, however, are only as good as their delivery strategy or the platforms used to connect them to wider audiences. And that's where live streaming can be useful.

Twitter feeds with hashtags like #Egypt and #ArabSpring were stories unfolding by the minute, documenting the revolution and how the world felt about it, in real time. Storytelling can be a powerful tool for good. Harvard lecturer and activist Marshall Ganz says people are rooted in their values and interests, rather than particular issues. Shared underlying values can be unifying, unlike issues, which can be divisive.
