Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Opposition activists in the Eastern European nation of Moldova staged anti-government protests last week, using cell-phones, Facebook and Twitter to organize demonstrators and broadcast messages to the outside world. Some commentators hailed the protests as an example of the power of new technology. Others say the power of social networking is being overstated. Tech Tuesday explores how new tools are being used to mobilize protests and policy debates around the world.
