The Egyptian Revolution on Twitter-A visualization

I came across this video today and thought it was absolutely stunning.

From the YouTube description:

Data collected with Gephi Graph Streaming.
This is a preliminary result of the network of retweets with the hashtag #jan25 at February 11 2011, at the time of the announcement of Mubarak's resignation. If you retweeted someone, or has been retweeted, it is possible that your username is in this network.

At the beginning of the visualization before Mubarak's resignation:

Near the end of the visualization, after Mubarak's resignation:

Watching the visualization is like watching something organic morph and grow. At the end I like how the graph looks almost like an eye.

This is why the PTB hate our use of the internet, it truly makes us LEGION.
We the people become 1 person with a forward momentum, that can be hard to combat.
"They" truly NEED to fear the day WE figure out WHO THEY are.
WE do not forgive WE do not forget. Justice will be swift.
