Social Media Sites in post-revolutionary Countries
Social Media sites such as YouTube and Facebook are helping protesters, particularly women, to reject traditional power structures.
In Egypt, a typically male-dominated society, women are using new access to social media sites to ensure their rights and freedoms. Before the revolution, women activists were arrested and quite possibly sexually assaulted. Citizens who dared to challenge the system were literally without protection.
Things have changed. Now women know they can take video with their cell phone and post it. Moreover, even if one phone is confiscated, or one person arrested, more people wlll post the same footage, shot from their phones.
Activists and women cannot act with immunity, but they are starting to usher in an era of transparency. More time is needed to thwart the many abuses committed across the Arab world by multiple governments; but a start provides hope.

Video Review: Anti-Snap Lock
Lock Snapping is a method of breaking a lock in order to gain access to what’s behind the door. It’s primarily used by criminals and has nothing to do with genuine lock picking. YouTube is littered with videos of people snapping locks; it’s that easy. My house has a plain old lock on it; not an anti-snap lock.
Even if I DID have an anti-snap lock, it probably wouldn’t do any good, because many anti-snap locks just aren’t that good. This video showcases a lock manufacturer, ABS, that makes locks that are actually well-designed, and stop lock snapping criminals in their tracks.
The video itself is a cheesy. It features a puppet; a very well-made puppet though. The video also has a man doing a voice for the puppet. However, the information presented is valuable and the videos presented of the lock, in action, are interesting and well produced.
