#Mubarak Fail
A couple of months ago, Egypt tweeted a revolution. But some of the most memorable images--besides the millions of Egyptians converging on Tahrir Square--were the protest signs. No one can argue that Egyptians don't have a sense of humor. :)
Embracing the role of Twitter.
"Go home already, my hand hurts!"
Speaks for itself.
The Internet sticks it to Mubarak.
This isn't a protest sign, exactly, but it demonstrates a collision of old and new, the use of a very organic, traditional means of protest to draw people's attention to the crucible of the new revolution: Twitter.
