The saying goes that everything is late in the Balkans [and even more so in Macedonia]. It seems that in the 2013 municipal elections the Twitter revolution finally happened in [to] Macedonia.

In the past few years there were couple of politically driven, socially charged issues [protest against police brutality, protest against rising electricity and heating prices] that used Internet, social networks and technology in general. However none of them were significantly successful.

Now finally praise is coming from mainstream pundits, and acknowledgment and gratification are coming from the mayor-elect of Centar municipality in Skopje. Twitter has won!

For more, there is always Evgeny Morozov's writing criticizing the usual naivety of 'Tweets were sent. Dictators were toppled.'
