Twitter blocked in Egypt as protests turn violent

 "Protests have brought Cairo to a standstill this week as thousands have poured into the streets, shouting 'Down with Mubarak' and clashing with riot police. The demonstrators are calling for an end to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's nearly 30 years in power and were inspired by the Tunisian uprising that ousted President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali on Jan. 14.

The protests were organized on Facebook and Twitter, though reports are now surfacing that Twitter is being blocked in Egypt."
