			This small (limited to 30 individuals), invitation-only workshop included a diverse range of researchers focusing on the Arab Spring, European wave, or Occupy movements. An array of individuals who approach the topic from both action and research perspectives took part in the workshop.

			'''Workshop ecosystem:''' The workshop created the opportunity for discussion among researchers with very diverse profiles and trajectories; specifically, participants came to the table with, among other attributes, a combination of European, Arabic and United States profiles; English-native and non-English-native backgrounds; varying degrees of experience with social movements scholarship (from experts to fairly unfamiliar with this literature); and both digital and non-digital emphases. We enjoyed such diversity as a feature rather than a bug; still, to create a respectful and productive environment for discussion, we asked that participants approach the event with an open mind as well as a willingness to take distance from each position and to explain any salient details (e.g., related to linguistic differences, historical approaches, or different research modes) with which they may be familiar, yet of which other participants may be less aware.

	Abstract: This study explores the structure and content of the Arabic blogosphere using link analysis, term frequency analysis, and human coding of individual blogs. We identified a base network of approximately 35,000 Arabic-language blogs, mapped the 6000 most- connected blogs, and hand coded over 3000. The study is a baseline assessment of the networked public sphere in the Arabic-speaking world, which mainly clusters nationally. We found the most politically active areas of the network to be clusters of bloggers in Egypt, Kuwait, Syria, and the Levant, as well as an ‘English Bridge’ group. Differences among these indicate variability in how online practices are embedded in local political contexts. Bloggers are focused mainly on domestic political issues; concern for Palestine is the one issue that unites the entire network. Bloggers link preferentially to the top Web 2.0 sites (e.g. YouTube and Wikipedia), followed by pan-Arab mainstream media sources, such as Al Jazeera.

			*''' Interest''': line A would be of most interest to me. Beyond what social media's role was, however, I'd be extremely curious to hear ideas on what the movement would have looked like 15 years ago (pre-social media) and what it might look like in another 15 years. I admit, however, that I do not have any expertise in that matter, so
			providing further insights is difficult.
