"Don't Be Evil"


"Don't be evil" is the informal motto of Google(sorce). Check out what Google and Twitter are doing for Egyptians these days.

According to the Official Google Blog:
We worked with a small team of engineers from Twitter, Google and SayNow, a company weacquired last week, to make this idea a reality. It’s already live and anyone can tweet by simply leaving a voicemail on one of these international phone numbers (+16504194196 or +390662207294 or +97316199855) and the service will instantly tweet the message using the hashtag #egypt. No Internet connection is required. People can listen to the messages by dialing the same phone numbers or going to twitter.com/speak2tweet.
 This being done since Egypt has cut the internet service. Those who don't have internet but have something to say, can do so by calling one of these numbers and leave a voice mail which will then be converted to text and added to Twitter with the #egypt tag.
