Entrepreneur Bill Moore was in his Austin, Texas, office last Thursday, watching explosive growth for his company’s walkie-talkie app, Zello, inside Venezuela. Zello had become the favorite app of protest organizers there after recently hitting the mark as the most popular app in Ukraine. Over the past few days in Venezuela, the protests ballooned following rapidly rising food prices, controversy over President Nicolas Maduro’s economic policies, public dissatisfaction over crime and multiple other factors.


Some cool apps for you app sluts  ;)

Zello was targeted by the Venezuelan government, in the beginning they were using it to ID the protestors and their movements, so a lot of people started suggesting to only communicate with known people, then the government decided to cut down the service.

I think the big star as in any of the previous rebellions is Twitter.
