Egypt Turns to Social Media Again, This Time to Rebrand as Tourist Friendly.
Social media accelerated the protest-to-revolution lifecycle. Now some in Egypt seem to be turning to social media to accelerate the lifecycle from revolution to a return to normalcy.
Back during the height of the protests in Egypt, Fast Company wrote about how social media was accelerating the pace of revolution. Now it looks like activists in Egypt are turning to social media to accelerate the next phase of revolution: the return to normalcy. A video was posted to YouTube Thursday called “From Egypt with Love,” which seems to be trying to encourage tourists, and possibly business people as well, to look at the Middle East with fresh eyes.
