In Egypt, protest signs signal 21st century

The New York Times is featuring a slideshow of protest signs during recent demonstrations in [[Tahrir Square]]. The protest eventually led to Hosni Mubarak stepping down as the nation’s president after 29 years in power. While demonstrations led to an important change in Egypt, the signs themselves perhaps reined in a new era in protests signs, as locals often fused technology, culture and cleverness to get their point across. Here are some highlights from The Times and from around the Web.
