The  new Egyptian Prime minister is an indication that real change is finally happening after the ouster of Hosni Mubarak . Announcements on his appointment even being posted on Facebook before being announced on State television. He in turn returned the favour by replacing the Interior Minister via the same medium . Ah the clever  little zucker who gave us this latest weapon in the war on liberating information.
Meanwhile the relationship status between Washington and Islamabad has gone from being "in a relationship" to "it's complicated".
Well what do you expect when a CIA operative and double murderer shoots and kills two people in broad daylight?
In China a blogger has been arrested for subversive activities against the state. His crime blogging for social justice .
The Chinese who have a talent for suppressing  dissent with a brutality that is worthy of African dictators, remember Tianamen Square, could become a victim of tsunami  proportions if this wave of liberation that is rolling across the Middle East takes hold there.
The role of  social media has been  discussed extensively in the recent uprisings, awakenings and revolutions that are currently underway and I for one believe the dissemination of real information has and will continue to be an important tool in educating both the rulers as to the hopes and desires of the young and enabling the electronic generation to both vent their disaffection and mobilize for action if necessary .
It is however ironic to note that Julian Assange the founder of Wikileaks which provides  information on governments and corporations to individuals for free is regarded as a villain whilst Mark Zukerburg  who provides information on individuals to governments and corporations for money is hailed a hero. Both play an important role in the current and ongoing struggle for freedom and dignity.
 As do the plethora of independent television news channels that beam information into our living rooms giving us both insight and motivation to empower ourselves to a better future. Well done Al Jazeera and all. Those of us who are not so connected rely on you to at least keep us informed.
Certain parts of central and southern Africa whose populations have so far been repressed have been slower to organize as internet and television availability is limited and or out of reach of the masses for the time being, but in this fluid environment dynamics change daily and they too will not be denied their freedom.
As for me I am hooked on these mediums and power does not have to be evil.
