In Tunisia, it's not Internet that made the revolution success, but SMS. First, everyone has a mobile phone (even the poor). Second, you receive the message and read it instantly wherever you are. (You should guess it, few people here have smart phones). Third, there is more commitment that you go to the street.
I think that's quite an achievement. Because the Ministry of Interior is the hand of terror of the ancient regime and there should be no other armed forces.
The turning point didn't happen in 14 January when Ben Ali escaped, but is beginning today, when the government is losing its' power.
I'm, now, waiting for the election and I'm going to support my nominee may be by designing his website, through Facebook and some other influence.
If change has really come, and a new president was elected, I'm going to write a detailed report about the revolution. You can trust this one, because it has the truth. It's from someone that lived in this revolution, that knows the ins and outs of the country.
Most of the articles and reports that you'll find here and there are full of bullshit.
SMS were cut off prior to Internet. All Telecomm is expected to be down by tomorrow - coinciding with an expected 1M protesters on the streets. Crackdown will be violent.
I think the internet (and specially facebook) had a big role too. Facebook videos were crucial to show that the people were not giving up specially when the television was silent about the whole thing.
