It seems like years since I wrote about Professor Scott Lucas using Twitter to collect and disseminate information about the world of international relations using Twitter. It was January.
The reason it seems so far back, no doubt, is that since posting the article the areas to which Lucas focuses most of his energy have been plunged into turmoil with Twitter now playing the part of a weapon of revolutionary force.
People in Egypt, Libya and Syria, for example have used both Facebook and Twitter to organise demonstrations and in the case of Libya this has escalated into a civil war.
