in many ways we've watched sort of the live action on the internet evolution of evgeni's thinking such that we've gone from the early days where he was sort of out there wondering and thinking and, perhaps, hoping there was something called a twitter revolution occur anything moldova. not only are we here to celebrate the publication of his book, "the net illusion," you know, i'm reminded once again of how circular our conversations are. and, you know, here we have the would-be twitter revolution many tunisia according to andrew sullivan just this very afternoon. so i think i'm looking forward to sort of jumping right into the middle of the conversation with evgeni about these subjects. but with i i have to ask you, first, about can we ever have a twitter revolution in your, many your estimation, or is it really just we have to give up in order to really become cyber villains, we have to give up all of our utopian and revolutionary fantasies about the liberating power of the internet? >> i think much depends on what exactly we mean by revolutions. if you look at what happened in moldov

i think we will jump right into the middle of the conversation with evgeny but i have to ask you, first, about tunisia. can we ever have bay twitter revolution in your estimation? or is it in order to become cyber realistic we have to give up all of our utopian and revolutionary fantasies about the power of the internet? >> it depends on what you mean. if you look at what happened before, twitter and social media, later, some people began wondering may be the actual impact was publicizing from angola and that happen to and if you fast forward too now what is happening in two visa also twitter but "the new york times" did a story broke it is very hard to think about what the twitter revolution is when you have a constantly changing discussion. if you look at iran and the twitter revolution there, again, it was instrumental and a quote from andrew sullivan that made a lot from those around him and basically helped it to take shape but later they fortify their position to say it was not used to mobilize but you know, , again, it was the factor factor-- the mobile factor they are still bloc

i am looking forward to jumping right into the middle of the conversation with evgeny but i have to ask you first can we ever have much wetter revolution in your estimation in order to really become cyber realist we have to give up our fantasies about liberating power of the internet? >> much depends on what exactly we main. initial problem there was twitter and social media was so instrumental and some people and they were not publicize what was happening in angola to get on the front page at the times because back then it is a very noble event and fast lowered to now see what is happening in tunisia also being covered but "the new york times" put it on the story so it is hard to think about what day twitter revolution is if you have the constantly changing with the twitter revolution and there it was instrumental almost day direct quote from andrew sullivan who made the law an publicized and basically shaped to that great extent but later of course, they modified their position to say it still helped the headlines and the cnn. that is almost a factor but then they tweaked it -- tweet
