Some weekend work that will (hopefully) enable more Egyptians to be heard. Like many people we’ve been glued to the news unfolding in Egypt and thinking of what we could do to help people on the ground.
Over the weekend we came up with the idea of a speak-to-tweet service—the ability for anyone to tweet using just a voice connection. We worked with a small team of engineers from Twitter, Google and SayNow, a company we acquired last week, to make this idea a reality. It’s already live and anyone can tweet by simply leaving a voicemail on one of these international phone numbers (+16504194196 or +390662207294 or +97316199855) and the service will instantly tweet the message using the hashtag #egypt. No Internet connection is required. People can listen to the messages by dialing the same phone numbers or going to twitter.com/speak2tweet.

Egypt Women Show Courage Participating In Mubarak Protests. "If I wasn't pregnant, I would've just stayed home.
" Marwa Rakha told the Huffington Post by phone, explaining her attendance of the protests in Egypt while seven months pregnant. "I went out because of my baby. I owe this to him.

This is in a country where women typically don't have a large public role. Last year, the assembly passed a law mandating the creation of 64 new seats in the house that must go to women.
But in the recent wave of protests in Egypt, women have been important contributors and have been accepted by their male counterparts. Rakha said she went to the protests alone.
