THE NEW WORLD

We are seeing internet history before our eyes

Egypt, in the face of a growing backlash of the youth against the old guard, has ordered the social networking, Twittering and Facebooking of modern life to be shut down.. the net’s gears have halted within the nation.. The rest of the world is watching Egypt, even if its citizens cannot see out.. Time will tell how the protests’ spread will be stopped by the sudden collapse of fiber optics and WiFi connections.. but all are watching..

Goodbye Egypt. You can’t see the world but the rest of the world is watching you.

Egypt Leaves The Internet

Confirming what a few have reported this evening: in an action unprecedented in Internet history, the Egyptian government appears to have ordered service providers to shut down all international connections to the Internet. Critical European-Asian fiber-optic routes through Egypt appear to be unaffected for now. But every Egyptian provider, every business, bank, Internet cafe, website, school, embassy, and government office that relied on the big four Egyptian ISPs for their Internet connectivity is now cut off from the rest of the world. Link Egypt, Vodafone/Raya, Telecom Egypt, Etisalat Misr, and all their customers and partners are, for the moment, off the air.

The 'kill switch' already exists in Egypt

Internet shut down; no TWITTER, FACEBOOK…

Chaos is expected within hours as citizens take to the streets to protest Hosni Mubarak.. A developing story that we will all be watching.

Egypt shuts down the Internet!

Egypt shuts down the Internet!

Tumblr is down alot. But with the new Tumbeasts, as CNN reports, faith in the brand may actually be strengtehened..

CNN reports:

Amusing error mascots are popular with users, but they can also deliver a bottom-line payoff: Being direct about screw-ups often strengthens users’ faith in a brand.

"The spirit of transparency is the new order," says Michael Gaiss, senior vice president at branding consultancy Highland Capital Partners. “Plus, being funny probably lightens the bad press around problems.”

The most iconic of these efforts is Twitter’s “Fail Whale” — the microblogging site even refers to errors as “whales” in its system status updates. Twitter’s history of crash whimsy runs deep: Before it introduced the whale, it had the error kitten.

Giant Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) has jumped on the trend. Google Books piggybacked on Twitter’s theme, creating its own Moby Dick-esque Fail Whale for when the service “is having trouble finding that page.”
