Saudi prince invests $300 million in Twitter
Hearing news like this, I can't help wondering what will happen to twitter if/when the Arab Spring spreads to Saudi Arabia.

Presumably users would switch to alternatives in case of intervention, which would be a big hit to this prince's investment.

I doubt there'll be cases (like during the last Iranian Presidental election) where Twitter postpones upgrades to help the protesters.
