Dear AoIRists, Those of you interested in but unable to attend the CATaC'12 conference this year (<catacconference.org>) may get some nuggets from Twitter: #CATAC12 I'm hopeful this will be useful especially with our opening keynote this morning (+1 GMT) by (AoIRist) Dr. Rasha Abdulla (American University of Cairo): "Lessons from Egypt: The roles and limits of social media in political activism and transformation." In light of recent events, most especially today's (inofficial) victory of Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsy as first elected President of Egypt, Dr. Abdulla's comments should be of particular interest. Cheers and all best, - charles ess -- Professor MSO Media Studies, Institute for Aesthetics and Communication Aarhus University Helsingforsgade 14 8200 Aarhus Denmark ³At vove er at miste fodfæstet for en stund, ikke at vove er at miste sig selv² [To dare is to lose one's footing for an hour; not to dare is to lose oneself]- Kierkegaard
