Larry Diamond:
"“… any form of information and communication technology (ICT) that can expand political, social, and economic freedom. In the contemporary era, it means essentially the modern, interrelated forms of digital ICT—the computer, the Internet, the mobile phone, and countless innovative applications for them, including “new social media” such as Facebook and Twitter.” (http://irevolution.wordpress.com/2010/08/08/ushahidi-liberation-tech/)
