Protesters use Twitter, Facebook and social media tools to organise G20 demonstrations

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

"All eyes are on London as world leaders gather for the G20 summit.
But protests and direct action aren’t just taking place on the streets around the Bank of England;
they are also taking place online, in cyberspace,
as those involved in demonstrations use social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to co-ordinate protests.

The internet has long been used by protest groups to organise and mobilise supporters and publicise campaigns.
But now mobile technology, allied with social media, is providing a new platform for protest."
