Google has launched the latest way to communicate in an effort to overcome internet blackouts in Egypt during anti-government protests there. Twitter, Google, and SayNow(a server of google) have came together to let people share web messages by voice mail. In order to work one would have to have a international phone number. According to CNN for each call the service will instantly post a message to twitter with a link to listen to the message. "We hope that this will go some way to helping people in Egypt stay connected at this very difficult time" says Google. If you click the link below it will show the video of how Egypt's internet and cell phone service has been cut off.

In my opinion Egypt should have to right to have a voice and have internet service. I can't even image our world about cell phones and internet. Seeing everything that Egypt is going to through is making me very proud to be an American. I think this story is unique because it shows that even though there are many issues on how the U.S should help, we are helping by providing Egyptians with a way to get their voice out to the world. Any ounce of freedom is better than none at all.
