Why does the media keep repeating his employer's name? It has nothing to do with his activism.

Wow - the video shows a very inspiring guy - not because he is particularly charismatic, but rather because he seems humbled by his role. Clearly feels that he is playing a small part in a larger movement, and deeply patriotic.

Incredibly moving ending of Wael weeping as he sees photographs of some of the killed protesters for the first time. Truly sad and heartbreaking, yet highly inspirational moment. In the end, one can only hope the Egyptian people finally find the peace, freedom, and fairness they have been fighting so diligently for.

I would be interested to know how he failed to keep his anonymity when he claims he was anonymous yet Egyptian police arrested him.

I haven't yet seen any sign of Google reacting to all this news about him, positively or negatively. Have they?
