The 2011 egyptian revolution was a major milestone in history and a large part of the Arab spring. It involved the overthrow the regime of Hosni Mubarak who was the president. People from all different socio-economic backrounds stood up in the many protests. At first the regime seemed almost impossible, but on February 11 2011, Hosni Mubarack officially resigned from power. The aftermath is the soon vote for the new president of Egypt.
Twitter had a large part in the event mainly by helping organize the event. The protesters posted times and dates for protests which was a big reason why most protests were so successful. Because of this new tool in revolutions, this was called "Revolution 2.0". This implies how this revolution is a new version of any other of its kind. The protesters also created hash tags so others can know that they are not alone. This gave them a voice and a greater sense of unity. This is why Twitter was very important in the egyptian revolution.
