Indonesian Twitter movement after the bombings

Posted by budip
Following the Jakarta bombings Friday morning--where Indonesian Twitter user Daniel Tumiwa already broke the news--Indonesians recently started a crowd-driven movement called Indonesia Unite through Twitter and sent the clear message to the guys behind the attack: "We Are Not Afraid!"


Started from Friday afternoon, the Indonesian Twitter users put their new red and white avatars (red and white represent the national flag)–-while some avatars also have "We Are Not Afraid" text. The country’s Tweeple also added #indonesiaunite hashtag in every tweet they sent.

In the next couple of hours, the red and white avatars started sweeping the Twitter time lines and #indonesiaunite hashtag became the number one "trending topic" on Twitter!
