Dear all, My chinese friend from Beijing told me that they used fax to spread the news for people to gather in Tiananmen. That's how the people power start in Tiananmen. Here in Indonesia, emails were used to back up other media in fast-spreading underground news and getting international attention for ousting Soeharto as president of the country in May 1998. Even Abigail Abrash from Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Center for Human Rights in Washington DC received direct messages from someone who sent latest news by notebook, from inside the Indonesian parliament building that was surrounded by troops. And in Philippines, the people power against the authority worked well by... SMS! Isn't technology amazing??? Best, Nuri Soeharto,- - no relation with Soeharto the ex-president. :-) Graduate Student Cyber-Anthropology University of Indonesia ---
