The 7 Activist Uses of Digital Tech: the Case of Popular Resistance in Egypt (webinar)
When thinking about the use of digital technology and social media in resistance we are often overwhelmed by anecdote. Look at a dozen cases and you will see three dozen examples of how activists are using digital technology in their work. This endless variety can be confusing not only to observers, but to activists themselves. There are few guidelines for what tech can and cannot do or strategic frameworks to use in planning whether and how to use digital technology in a campaign. In this webinar Mary Joyce, Founder of the Meta-Activism Project, will present a framework that divides digital technology into seven activist functions: documenting, co-creating, mobilizing, broadcasting, synthesizing, protecting and transferring resources. She will use the recent case of the Egyptian Revolution to explore these functions. Mary is an expert in the field of digital activism and travels the world training, speaking, and consulting on the topic. In 2007 she founded DigiActive.org, an all-volunteer organization dedicated to helping grassroots activists around the world use digital technology to increase their impact, and in 2008 she was New Media Operations Manager for Barack Obama's national presidential campaign. She is also the editor of Digital Activism Decoded, the first book explicitly devoted to the topic of digital activism, to be published in the spring of 2010.

Motorcycle Low speed crash / accident, front tire seemed to lock up and possible hit the rear tire of the rider in front of me, I tried to avoid the rider when they where turning into the gas station. I was looking straight of head and I did not see any turn signals or break lights. I had no idea that the rider was stopping I was paying attention to both the car that was in the same lane and I was looking ahead to the riders down the street. We are NOT at our destination and I did not hear over the chatterbox that anyone was stopping for gas (if we where on the OC channel) If you notice my position I am on the left side of the rider which means I tried to avoid rear ending them, My front tire must have locked up and the entire bike fell on its right side and it appears that I may have flipped over the handle bars and landed on the ground. Initially I thought the rider had cut me off but after reviewing the video it appears that the rider was stopping sharply to enter into the gas station. However, there where NO cars to block at the gas station so Im still confused on why the rider was stopped, slowed down or went into the gas station unless they actually was going to get some gas in which he would have been left because no other bikes where going into the gas station except him. I would not say that it is the other riders fault, Im just upset I did not see any turn signals or break lights, even though we were going at a low speed, it happened really fast and I did not have time to react. if you listen to the video you can hear me rev my engine this means I was was alerting the car that I was near so I was not even picking up speed or in gear at the time of the accident I may have been in 2nd gear because the light had just turned green and no one was riding fast we were all riding slow in this part of town. This is a slow speed accident, its a dangerous sport and things happen. I do not blame the rider even though Im still puzzled why he was going into the gas station and why didnt I see any turn signals or break lights so either he stopped in the middle of the lane, or he hesitated before going into the driveway, either way I dont think he was aware I was directly in back of him when he did what ever he did... and I should have/could have went around the rider and got closer to the car... however I took the chance to be closer to the bike vs get closer to the car because many cars where acting erratic at this point, some drivers where cutting us off without signaling so I was trying to avoid the cars not the motorcycles. I was not aware but I had broken my toe and sprained my ankle and wrist
