Ghonim says, "Definitely. This is an Internet revolution. I'll call it a revolution 2.0" when asked by CNN's Ivan Watson. Dude likes Pringle of Scotland so much so that he has two of the same polo T-shirts in blue and burgundy. And he's always seen with an Apple MacBook Pro. Dude is rad. But you see material goods just aren't enough. People need democracy, the ultimate Western (or American?) export. See how he got pissed off when he mentions Omar Soliman says Egyptians aren't ready for democracy? Dude got emotional when talks turn to people who made the ultimate sacrifice and says he is ready to die for his cause. Wow.
See it yourself.

Of course he would, he works for Google :) (btw my video plug-in is banjaxed so can't watch any Youtube vids unfortunately :(...
ReplyDeleteI do think he is a very very brave man, just like all other Egyptians as they fought to stay put in Tahrir Square.
Okay I commented too quickly before you added that other bit about the fact that he said would die for Egypt in the interview. In the above I meant "Of course he would (say that it *is* an Internet revolution)", and not that he would "die for democracy" (which would be rather crassly presumptuous of me).
ReplyDeleteYes, that's why Jobs prefer HTML5 presumably more bug free. Youtube has part of this video and CNN has the full version at least an hour or so back. I guess before long third party will have this video in full minus the commercial.
ReplyDeleteThe whole Tahrir Square is reminiscent of what happened in Tiananmen Square in 1989. Hopefully with a more different more peaceful more democratic outcome.
ReplyDeleteYup, and I've been collating pictures to show this connection on my blogpost also. It's encouraging that the protests persisted despite the communications shut-down by the regime, and despite the attacks on the protesters. I hope the army stays on the side of the people.
