Today's Webtip: Alive in Egypt
When the Egyptian government and corporations shut down the internet last weekend, people across the planet organized to maintain contact with the country. Dial up access was set up, the word was spread and even some of the big guys got involved.
Google set up a service that would allow people to call in tweets. googleblog.blogspot.com
That action prompted some others to set up a system that would make those tweets accessible to the rest of the world. Alive in Egypt is a crowd sourced translation. You can go there to read english (and some french) translations of what people have called in. They also have a collection of videos and fotos from the last several days.
And you can help.
They still need people to translate the mass of information that is coming in.
