There's also this notable article by Malcolm Gladwell on why personal interaction is still more important than twitter/facebook/youtube in starting revolutions: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/10/04/101004fa_fact_gladwell

Who says Government isn't innovative?
Some last thoughts about cloud computing
This picture was compiled by NASA a few years ago and shows which parts of the world have sufficient money/infrastructure to keep the lights on at night and which ones are not there yet.
Compared with this one which shows global facebook connections.
I would submit that there is a high correlation between lack of lighting and people logging onto to facebook. More interesting are places that have lights but no facebook. Some have regulations which prevent access to the service, others just don't seem to be interested in it.
What I really want to know though is how people in the Philippines are powering their computers.
