Burma, Azerbaijan Want Facebook-Powered Revolutions

They hope to establish a larger social media presence and raise international awareness about the oppressive state in their country.
Burma, officially known as the Union of Myanmar, is a small country in Southeast Asia bordered by China, Thailand, India, Banlgadesh, and Laos.
It’s hard to believe that a country as tightly controlled as Burma could pull it off, but if people don’t try, they’ll never know the change they’re capable of achieving.
