It's definitely a good thing. I've also seen it said that social media is actually having a definable influence in both this and the recent Tunisia uprising. The internet is making it very difficult for corrupt leaders to stay in power because people can both see them for what they really are and organize themselves faster than the governments can put them down.

I wonder if this isn't the start of a kind of domino effect. It will definitely be interesting to watch.
