The Arab Spring in Egypt that overthrew the Mubarak, in power 30 years, and the impact 
of communication has also led to inspire young Egyptians creative initiatives in business, which is called start-up, as the BBC News.
Even the idea of brick by brick, as was common in the palestinian uprisings using stones, was now changed bit-by-bit by the use of social networks to defend themselves.
But Mubarak came to cut the communications of protesters, then came to the fore ideas of collaboration and the power of crowd (crowdsourcing) to support the protests.
An example was the use of Bluetooth, which must be done within 20 feet, but the demonstrations in Cairo Tahrir Square used the known and then were all close, but still remained one last problem: the information must be decoded.
A young man named Mohammad Omara, designer of semiconductor chips, made an application which used no decoding, and then communication within a radius of 300 meters (Bluetooth better than normal) was possible, was created XoneBee.
Many other ideas have emerged as the platform Nafham, which in Arabic means “we understand” who developed a teaching model mass, which is new education platform.
The people’s back streets, the government elected by popular vote became authoritarian and manipulative.

Analysis of tweets in blog of Raquel Ricuero indicates a growing politicization of the issues, but otherwise the withdrawal of some leaders concerned about the direction and a direction not obscure the course of demonstrations, the use of opportunistic and / or desires other than the people.
For our part we will continue to support by understanding the social and political issues
raised are so fundamental to the Brazilian people, for the country’s future and for greater accountability of politicians. Also commendable is the participation of ordinary people and ordinary population, the progressive social forces can not abandon the popular clamor of the streets, periphery also get to participate, there are already events planned in Campo Limpo and Capao Redondo (SP-state) and the Rocinha favela (RJ-state) for today.
Major changes require efforts, tensions are not comfortable for anyone, it is understandable even some discontent within the movement itself, but you must have a safe driving that point to deeper issues.
The Brazilian people expect their leaders do not abandon them.
