Social media and Gezi Park protests

"Is social media, then, also having a similar impact?
Yes. Similar to the Arab Spring, the role of social media is undeniable in the uprising in Turkey. I would not go as far as to say this is a social media revolution, as some have redundantly argued about Tahrir. But clearly, protestors in Turkey would not have been able to organize and make themselves heard this well and be able to undo the silence of Turkish media channels and their pro-government broadcasting, if they did not have access to social media."

I saw a slick video made by the protesters very similar to Anonymous videos; lots of fun, singing, dancing, but still determined to make their point.  I saw in photos similarities to Occupy Wall St.  They even had a nice library set up, that the cops came and destroyed.  Another thing about social media is protesters around the world can share ideas and methods.
