Technology and social media provided the spark needed to start a revolution and when the powers that be tried to cover it up, coverage still got out. Al Jazeera is providing live coverage over the web and speak2tweet is allowing people in Egypt to call and have their messages spread across the globe despite the government shutting down the Internet.

This is simply amazing to see people come together like this for a cause and we're truly being given the opportunity to watch history unfold before our eyes. The revolution may not be televised, but it's still spreading across the world.
