society is facing the era of social media. One of the most mentioned social
networks that draws attention from all over the world is facebook. In term of
the revolution in Egypt, most of Egyptian people believe that Facebook plays
very significant roles in winning their revolution. How exactly facebook could
be that important in the process of this revolution, becomes the center of this
paper. In its analysis, this paper focuses on the Khaled Said facebook, where
critical consciousness was built, collective identities were changed, the realm
of Egypt was reconstructed, actions were planned and maintained. The author
also underlines that how far a communication technology bringing about the
changes for human-beings so much depends on the actors of revolution. The
actors in this case, are the constructors of reality, i.e. the people.
