There is no geo-tagged tweeting coming out of Syria, but today we are anticipating solidarity rallies in many Arab cities which we are tracking on twitter.
Beirut is the city closest to Syria, has the strongest ties, and has the most to gain or lose from the situation in Syria and we anticipate high tweeting the city today.
Tahrir as the de facto Capital of the Jasmine Revolt and we would expect to see solidarity protests there after prayers. In Cairo scores of over 80 are very high.
Kuwait is a major hub for tweeting and it will be interesting to see if levels raise above their normal highs in the 80s to 90s over protests for Syria.
