Shock & Awe Talk:Of Insta-Democracy, ‘Revolution’ and doing a Cairo in Dhaka
- Whoever cooked up recipes for ‘revolutions’ in Tunisia and Egypt leading to the domino effect now sweeping the Arab world was surely ‘high’ on either instant-coffee, instant noodle or the variety of instant gratification applications, food and lifestyle devices that have become global icons! A reality check on strategies employed would infer, the only ‘weapons’ you need for a ‘revolution’ is a Facebook or Twitter account – (preferably both) a user friendly cell phone and human skills to mobilize thousands of people into a main square of your city.

I am more and more often asked the same question these days that I would like to answer here:
WHY SHOULD I USE SOCIAL MEDIA FOR MY BUSINESS* *various sources
Friend –
If you’re on Facebook, and you want to have a big impact right now on the election, here’s how:
Click here to use our “Commit to Vote Challenge” Facebook app.
With just a few clicks, you can ask any or all of your friends to commit to vote (which studies show is one of the best ways to get them to cast a ballot). You can track your progress, and compete with your friends who are also using the tool.
The amazing part is how quickly your actions multiply across the country. Let’s say five or 10 of your friends commit. A few of them will pass it on, and their friends will pass it on, and it just grows from there. We’re already seeing chains of commitments more than 20 people long, reaching from San Diego to Tampa, via Seattle, Boise, Boston, and New Orleans.
You might never guess how many people you’ll turn out, or what critical race you’ll put over the top — all with just a few minutes and your Facebook account.
So give it a shot:

DHAKA (AFP) – Scores of dog lovers shouting “Don’t kill, sterilise” marched through Dhaka on Saturday to protest Bangladesh’s brutal canine culling, which involves breaking the animals’ necks.
Carrying banners with slogans, the protesters linked hands in front of the Dhaka City Corporation, the main government agency responsible for culling thousands of dogs every year.
