is there a running Egypt thread like there was a few days ago?
My sister is there on an arch. project. Yesterday the word was they were staying as it is a rural area and calm. This morning got word they were chartering a flight out on Thursday morning.

I see the latest breaking news and a few other posts, but what about a running commentary of what is live? I'm on slow dial up and have no tee vee, can't get Democracy Now! until noon, so sure appreciated those threads last week and over the weekend! Thanks!

1. I'm glad you've heard from your sister, Kali
And glad to hear that she's alright.

I think a running thread is a good idea. :kick:

2. This was posted earlier so might be helpful....n/t
ShawkattRaghib‎ ~The global communities are amazed & so touched about American tourists jointing the Egyptian Protests~ #Egypt #Tahrir #Jan25 #1M #Feb

If you want to read live tweets and are at work, don't access Al Jazeera or just a techno-illiterate like me, just do this: Go to Google, type in #feb1 or #egypt. Then on the LEFT side of screen click "realtime". You will see all the tweets live from egypt. Everyone should read these, it will give you goosebumps. You are witnessing a raw, pure, unadulterated democracy movement. This is more than just historical, this is the beginning of something bigger.

didn't even know this existed! As T-I as I am, it's nothing compared to my Twitter illiteracy. THANKS! :hi:

10. I wasn't -- I was serious in my thanks to you for posting it! That's the first
I ever saw of it. But thanks for thinking I'm not as techno-illiterate as I truly am! :hi:

Praise goes elsewhere but also to you for sharing the step-by-step instructions. :headbang:

9. that is kind of addicting and headache inducing!
thanks, I think.;-)

found a thread earlier by Catherina (spell) with lots of those - I think I am more used to the DU format than a scrolling feed with lots of stuff that needs to be filtered - eek!
