Facebook is taking over the world. For sure.

Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer, in an interview with the “leader” of Egypt’s revolution, the “Google Ganhdi,” Wael Ghonim (since he works for Google).  

BLITZER: Wael, this is Wolf Blitzer in Washington. So first Tunisia, now Egypt. What’s next?
GHONIM: Ask Facebook.
BLITZER: Ask what?
GHONIM: Facebook.
COOPER: Facebook.
BLITZER: Facebook. You’re giving Facebook a lot of credit for this?
GHONIM: Yes, for sure. I want to meet Mark Zuckerberg one day and thank him, actually. This revolution started online. This revolution started on Facebook. You know, I always said that if you want to liberate a society, just give them the Internet. If you want to have a free society, give them the Internet.

Really interesting stuff, we definitely witnessed history in the making, but could it have bigger implications than we think?
