The Internet is just back in Egypt, and one by one, Egyptian colleagues, friends and contacts are popping back online. The moment is huge and there is euphoria in the air. Both Twitter and Facebook are still blocked on certain networks.
Here's some of the buzz from Twitter.
@JustAmira: Ahlan wa sahlan Egyptian tweeps! Chat away: tell us what happened when Mubarak switched off the light #Jan25

Meanwhile congratulations continue to flow, amid reports that Facebook is still blocked in Egypt, which switched off the Internet on January 27  – as Egyptians rose in their call for an end of Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule.
