[P2P-F] rundown of links to egyptian revolution

[Michel Bauwens]

(from a dialogue with nicholas roberts)

communication is an essential tool of any movement, but those possibilities
are not exhausted by social media, and as the Egyptian's recognized, they
carry their own dangers; it's not a question of fetichising, but of
strategic and tactical use

apart from these instrumental uses, I do believe p2p dynamics are active as
a new way of socialization, and it reconfigured the political field
preparing the way for the eruption,

my own summary is here:

the historical social media dynamics that prepared the uprising are
