Alec J. Ross, Senior Adviser at the US Department of State, is being interviewed early March 2011 shortly after the events in Tunisia and Egypt, and while the situation in Libya is still unclear. The social media played a critical role in helping organize protesters and amplify their grievances, but Facebook and Twitter didn't cause the uprisings. Alec J. Ross explains the impact of internet on international events and how it is also changing diplomacy.
