6. Much, much appreciated.
Edited on Fri Jan-28-11 08:13 AM by woo me with science
It is extremely frustrating trying to find good coverage of these protests from US sources.

I just did a quick search of American basic cable TV and found ONE channel trying to cover Egypt. It was a farce, as both of the broadcasters were clearly out of their depth.

Thank you for the constant stream of information and links.

11. Yes, thank you. I don't know how you do it.
There must be four of you: one to search, one to read, one to write, and one to make coffee.

I think most of us are simply trying to maintain the refresh.

45. OMG! Another thing you and I agree on!
I don't rec appreciation threads either, but this is an exception, coz Caterina makes keeping informed much easier for lazy folk like myself who just like coming here to read what's going on...

I recall us agreeing in another thread awhile back. Now it's happening again!?! What's the world coming to? :hi:

58. I'm thinking we agree on more
than we disagree on (or we wouldn't have found this site). It's okay to disagree - we're human and have our own experiences. It is nice when we can come together on things.

41. She really worked her ass off to keep us updated
I was scrambling, following her, and the tweets, and looking for video. I forced myself to stay up those early hours, and Catherina's thread was an invaluable source of updates. And she managed to keep going far longer than I expected!

Here's to our Cat...WELL DONE! :toast:

Edited on Sat Jan-29-11 12:41 AM by Catherina
I've learned so much here from you guys. I'm glad I was able to give something back. This was a really fun collaborative project with several other DUers. I didn't even know there was a revolution happening in Egypt until the second day! Thanks to EFerrari, Cerridwen, Turborama, TBF for sharing the twitter load and coordinating *work* shifts.

Thanks to the Administrators for providing such a great platform to share information.

You guys are the greatest! I love DU.

47. I think it was Turborama who told me there was a revolution going on!
Either Turborama or Cerridwen. We all really worked together. Now I'm going to go through their journals to read all the solid stuff they found. It's going to be a long catch-up night! :hi:
