Syria's Revolutionary iPhone App Helps Fight the Assad Regime

The revolution is online. For the past eight months, the Internet has played a key role in the Syrian uprising: with foreign journalists largely banned from the country, protesters have turned to the web to document their rallies, anti-regime chants, and, at times, gruesome videos of security forces shooting and beating people. Now the tech-savvy opposition has taken things one step further: an iPhone and iPad app launched on Tuesday called Souria Wa Bas (which roughly translates as "Syria and That's All"), perhaps the first of its kind in the history of revolutions.
