The Revolution Will Be Televised (on YouTube)

Yesterday's military coup in Thailand is bloodless, so far. Nevertheless,
most military governments don't welcome a free press.

Of this coup, Search Engine Journal's Loren Baker observed: "Two years ago
this would not have turned many heads in the online community, but now is
the age of citizenship journalism. ...Included in the coverage are some
citizen video journalists documenting the Thai constitutional cycle as it
turns, and sharing their footage on YouTube."

Meanwhile, Global Voices Online is tracking several Thai-based bloggers who
are live blogging the coup.
