Twitters live from the Million March:

The world is most definitely watching!
A friend linked to this Handy-Dandy Update Website for breaking news in Egypt...aside from having easy to follow explanations rolling updates, it's also full of links. If you'd like: http://motherjones.com/mojo/2011/01/whats-happening-egypt-explained

There's a link somewhere in there re: the Al Jazeera live feed going down, at least intermittently, but it was being crossfed through this website: http://www.livestation.com/channels/3-al_jazeera_english ...it's down too atm, though. Hope it helps!
