"The rule of thumb is that (governments) crack down on bloggers and internet journalists when they become influential," said Marc Lynch, a George Washington University political scientist who tracks the Arab world on his own blog, http://www.abuaardvark.com.

Seems that goverment pressure is starting to have some effect since Wael Abbas' accounts got shut down at Yahoo and YouTube. Luckily, YouTube reinstated his account and most of his videos after getting complaints from Misr Digital supporters.
