I spent a month there, and have some close friends from the country. I'm very proud of them for finally standing up for themselves.

I do think the internet was a big influence on their ability to mobilize and coordinate, as well as keep spirits up. I would think it would be easier to face tanks and tear gas when you know people around the world are behind you (in spirit).

I followed every moment with live streaming broadcasts, multiple live blogs and twitter feed.
