In an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Google manager Wael Ghonim gave much of the credit for the Egyptian demonstrations and the eventual ouster of President Hosni Mubarak to Facebook.
Ghonim, who used Facebook to organize the initial demonstrations, said the site's power to mobilize masses of people around a single idea is what made such dramatic change possible in his homeland.
"First Tunisia, now Egypt, what's next?" Blitzer asked Ghonim.
"Ask Facebook," Ghonim replied, adding, "I want to meet Mark Zuckerberg one day and thank him, actually."
Ghonim said he plans to write a book, titled "The Revolution 2.0.," about his experiences during the uprising. He also said he has no plans to join whatever new government emerges in Egypt and prefers to "go back to his company and work." That company, of course, is none other than Google, Facebook's Internet rival.
