Egypt Protests: Egyptian Protester Holds Facebook 'Thank You" Sign (photo)

Many of the protest signs being displayed on the streets of Cairo in Tahrir Square urge Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak to step down now. There are few that are a different, case in point: an Egyptian protester holding a sign that appears to thank the social media site Facebook.

More Egypt Protest Signs

Unless some extremely clever photoshop was done the Facebook Egypt Protest Sign appears to be legitimate. Further, I don't read or Arabic so I am relying on the Twitter user, Richard Engel, an NBC reporter in Cairo, who originally posted the photo. He says indeed it is a Facebook thank you sign that he shot in Cairo.

Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter are being credited with acting as vehicle to mobilize protesters in Egypt against the Mubarak regime.

The ongoing protests in Egypt and earlier in Tunisia are a clear warning to the rulers world over, particularly dictators, to mend their ways, as social networking sites have the potential to help organize protests such a magnitude that could not be controlled.

Social Media has been a catalyst for change in the world. I remember when NowPublic was a major information source for Katrina and other disaster information around the world. They provided first hand reports without the mainstream media filters. Today, most MSM outlets have adopted what NP began.

Al Jazeera has taken a spot in news reporting in America. Traffic rates have gone up over 2500 percent with 40 percent of that traffic coming from American viewers. Where AJE was not available by cable in most areas, AJE began sharing it's satellite information. We put together a story, Al Jazeera English Live: iPhone, Android, Online & Satellite, that gave information on the many potential ways to watch the news directly from Egypt.

Facebook and Twitter have come a long way and should be commended, but I want to say, before both had the role, NowPublic was there.
