Libya Looks to a Future Without Gaddafi - TIME

Libya Looks to a Future Without Gaddafi - TIME: "Libya, they explain, is more traditional than its neighbors Tunisia and Egypt. The activists say they want to see a new government that preserves Libyan culture, not a democracy imported from elsewhere. Says al-Shohiby: 'I have one soul. I will give it for this revolution — not just for money, but for freedom. We want freedom, but democracy that fits with our culture. Not just any democracy. One that respects our religion. Libya is 100% Muslim and Sunni, and 100% original Libyan. So we need to make our own democracy. We need support from outside — the U.S. and U.K. — but not to tell us what to do. We just want advice.'"

If Libya Falls, What Happens to All Those Twitter bit.ly Links? - TIME.com: "If you're a serious or even occasional twitterer, you may have wondered what the '.ly' at the end of those shortened bit.ly URLs stand for. Well, the answer is Libya. Like '.uk' for United Kingdom or '.jp' for Japan, .ly is a country code top-level domain that serves as an alternative to 'generic' top-level domains such as '.com' or '.net'. So now that Libya is further slipping into chaos, an obvious question arises: what happens to all those shortened links?

Two scenarios: one good, and one pretty bad."
