Yi-Tan Weekly Tech Call #

)It's been a year since the rise of the Arab Spring. Multiple leaders have fallen, several countries are still mired in struggle, and a few have even held elections.
Many factors have been credited as contributing to the Arab Spring, including Wikileaks, the price of bread and broad use of Facebook and Twitter. How much they actually contributed is up for debate.
Together, let's discuss:
- What broad lessons can we draw from the year's events?
- How have those events affected others around the world?
- Where might these forces take us over the next few years?
As always, an IRC chat will be available during the call at #yitan. (Not familiar with IRC? Just join us here.)
We tweet as @yitan (and use #yitan as our hashtag). Please follow us on Twitter. This page is on the web here.
