Revolution by YouTube and Dating Websites

Revolutionaries in Libya knew that the government and police would be monitoring Facebook and Twitter for signs of any plots against the government through planned demonstrations. In true human spirit, in the face of diversity, the anti-government forces found a way around the eyes that were watching them. By using the most popular dating website in the Middle East, they were able to share information that stirred up the spirit of revolution.

Messages in the form of poetry with opposing opinions, references to Jasmine - for the Jasmine Revolution, and making statements about wanting love (when really meaning wanting liberty), the revolutionaries quickly spread dissent and encouragement throughout the nation. Videos taken at demonstrations proving that Qaddafi's forces are killing innocent protestors have appeared on YouTube. The nation that has been ruled by an iron-fisted despot for over forty years may soon be taken down through a dating website. What has taken decades to accomplish in the past, has taken social networking weeks to accomplish.
