This article talks about how the social media has played a huge role in the Arab Spring. Not only are many people blogging, tweeting, and using facebook to get people to help the cause, they are able to tell their stories and experiences with others who are also being effected or with people want to know about what's going on in the Middle East. They use these sites to set up protests, to coordinate events and to tell the world about it.
It has also been a suggested use to resign from positions.
Many of these sites cover topics about the Arab Spring so that people stay informed, but there are also the people who are actually putting their lives on the line to support the cause. Keeping up with this information through the social media is why things are being done to end the Arab Spring. If these connections weren't possible, I don't think there would be as much accomplished as there has been, but there also has to be the people who want to stand up and take action too.
