Egypt is blocking Virtual World activity. There are huge protests going on in Egypt right now, and much of the organizing and information transfer is happening online, through email and texting but also on Facebook and Twitter.
Think how fast organizing a protest can be when all you have to do is send out a tweet on Twitter about it, or list it in your Facebook post. Instantly, thousands of people can see it and act on it. And others can even re-post the news to their followers or contacts, creating a viral news effect.
This kind of use of social networking probably wasn't expected at Facebook and Twitter when they first started out, but both are perfect platforms for this kind of service.
