Hi mylotrs, I have just read this post on wired.com about a former student leader who is making the best use of the web and it apps. to help keep in touch with his homeland. He has been exhiled form China for more than ten years. He now lives in the United States. He is Wang Dan and was a Univeristy student who pracipated in the protest at Tiananmen square back in 1989.
Dan says that by useing the net, socail networking sites and twiter, he can stay intouch with fellow Chinesse and not feel that he is in excile to a forien county.
He is the Chainman of a politcal reform group that seeks to change the Chiness consitution.
here is the link. http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/06/20-years-on-web-transforms-china-exile-for-tiananmen-leader/

the internet has revolutionized our way of communicating our thoughts and advocacies. it frees the access to ideas and campaigns more available. it makes us more connected to each one and the world. the exiled student leader from china is making use of the internet to keep in touch with his countrymen and women to keep up the struggle started in the tiananmen square twenty years ago. this is a brillian idea and excellent tool to continue the fight.
