In my opinion, the only explanation why on twitter were so many posts about Moldova Protests is that the moldovian authorities has closed down all the major, and small websites from which people could get some true information about whats going on in Moldova, and this is why people started to search on twitter. The main websites that did contribute in organizing the process was the comments from the news portal unimedia and the messages sent in the mega popular social network (only in ex- USSR countries), odnoklasniki.ru, which has more than 30 million users. So I think that twitter did not contribute in organizing the protests. It only contribute in informing people (mostly bloggers) about what is going on in Moldova ( since all media websites were closed by authorities). Twitter is not even popular in Moldova. I'll say that only 1% of moldovas internet users know about twitter. And those are bloggers. If you would made a deeper research about this topic, you would saw that on twitter, posts mostly came from romania( Moldova and romania speak the same language). Anyway, I am glad that I saw a post on a harvard blog about the moldovan protests. REPREZINT MOLDOVA!!!!!!! I think that twitter did not played an important role in the protests in Chisinau, Moldova.
