.... geeks have taken on dictators; bloggers are dissidents; and social networks have become rallying forces for social justice.

As people around the world challenge authorities, from Iran to Tunisia, Egypt to Yemen, entire societies are being transformed as ordinary citizens see the difference, imagine the alternative, and come together to organise for a better future.

So, are social networks triggering social revolution? And where will the next domino fall? .........

2. And Lieberman wants Obama to have an Internet kill-switch?!?

Would he have an aide carry it around in a briefcase along with the nuclear go-codes and the latest blueprints from Area 51? Madness.

Information is power - and information wants to be free.
