Speaking out after silence on Syria

Once a year, the Twitter family looks forward to its biggest event -- Twestival® (or Twitter Festival) -- taking place on Thursday (March 24).

"According to tweets coming for Syria right the Omari mosque in Daraa is allegedly under the attack. Tweeps are reporting that they are hearing screams and explosion through telephone lines from the mosque."

Israel for sure wants Bashar Al Assad in his place more than ever."

"Anyhoo... looking at the information on this particular college got me thinking about how my life would have been different had I ended up there."

"As a person who does not add much value to Arabic content on the Web, I find the subject of Arabic content on the Web extremely important."
