Everyone has their favorite way of using the internet. Many of us search to find what we want, click in to a specific website, read what’s available and click out. That’s not necessarily a bad thing because it’s efficient. We learn to tune out things we don’t need and go straight for what’s essential.

[...] The first thing that has to be understood about this conference is the powerful and moving videoconference keynote from Esra’a al Shafei of http://www.mideastyouth.com (@mideast youth). Is your social strategy “Expose Injustice”? No. But theirs is. They have successfully changed discriminatory government policies, largely through use of social media channels. Check out their incredible videos here. I also recommend Jason Falls’ great post about this session. [...]

It was such an awesome experience to see such a reaction to what Esra'a does. And her *shug shoulders* attitude when she says, “I am just doing what I believe is right” is mind boggling. She is one powerful little gal, and doesn't seem to notice!

I am going to be doing an audio interview with her tomorrow as a follow up, so watch twitter and my blog for the post.

Jason, thanks so much for putting a spotlight on MEY and all the great and treacherous work they are doing.

I can say this was the first [and probably only] keynote that has ever brought me to tears. Esra’a Al Shafei is one of the bravest women (at 22!) I've ever had the pleasure to see speak. And I give a huge round of applause to Scott Schablow, Jason Hill, Stacey Hood and team for bringing her to us as attendees of Social South and for broadening our lives/viewpoints.

My thought after hearing her speak is this: For all of you social media folks out there complaining that organizations "just don't get it" I ask you... What are you doing to go above and beyond to help them? What are you doing to go against the norm? What are you doing to risk yourself, your career, etc? What are you doing to bravely put customers first?

And I have this thought only because it’s easier for people to whine then to do something about it or to risk something. Esra’a Al Shafei is using social media to LITERALLY save lives... I feel very small after hearing her story.

I have now told numerous people about this powerful session, and I cry a bit every time. To hear her say “I am not afraid to die” for the rights we all take for granted was a life-changing experience.

The concept she described of “information activism” – spreading the word by sharing the formerly unseen images and stories of oppressed people – shows the true power of social media. Jason, thank you for sharing what we heard through this important post.

You are so right. I think seeing her via Skype vs in person actually made it more powerful. Sometimes the medium can be the message.. in this case I think it was. You also have to love how she shows vs preaches. Her content first engages you and then and only then does it teach you. Truly inspiring stuff.

Thanks for sharing and pulling all the links/etc together in one post that we can all share. You da man.
