Social Media and Social Revolutions: what is their relationship?

Recent events around #Wikileaks, #Tunisia and the total shutdown in #Egypt have also given us a valuable lesson into the reliability of corporate social media, and the #internet, susceptible to government and #corporate #control around choke points. This means that at all times, serious activist will be ready not just to apply alternative digital media, but also non-digital media. But in no way am I making an appeal to abandon social media, or the public internet, indeed, this is where the people and the users are, and no social change effort can be successful, if is isolates itself from the mass of the people.
