We have heard lots recently about social media. Things like Facebook and Twitter which weren’t around 10 years ago are now powerful forces in the world. Experts have been particularly interested in how social media has impacted the changing Middle East.

One of these experts is Zeynep Tufekci. She has particular interest in”the social impacts of technology and social media.”  She has made numerous media appearances discussing these issues as they pertain to the Middle East.

We at USDemocrazy had the good fortune to interview her recently (See above).

This interview is the first of a series we are offering in conjunction with the University of Maryland, Baltimore County’s Talking Heads blog.

Check out the video and give us your thoughts.
