Wael Ghonim is an Internet activist and computer engineer, Google’s Middle East and North Africa Marketing Manager.

Revolution 2.0 in Egypt was exactly the same. Everyone contributing small pieces, bits and pieces. We drew this whole picture of a revolution. And no one is the hero in that picture.""
