Zoe Fox, Mashable, How the Arab World Uses Facebook and Twitter [INFOGRAPHICS] "Social media has been often touted for the role it played in the popular uprisings that have spread across the Arab world since December 2010. Despite the buzz, you may be surprised that only 0.26% of the Egyptian population, 0.1% of the Tunisian population and 0.04% of the Syrian population are active on Twitter."
This helps put things in perspective... the infographics are useful too

Arab Social Media Report
Carol Huang, The National, Facebook and Twitter key to Arab Spring uprisings: report, 6 Jun 2011 discusses findings of second edition of the Arab Social Media Report by the Dubai School of Government.
Here's the link to the report:
Dubai School of Government, Arab Social Media Report, Edition 1 (Jan 2011)
Dubai School of Government, Arab Social Media Report, Edition 2 "Produced by the Dubai School of Government’s Governance and Innovation Program, the second Arab Social Media Report highlights and specifically analyzes usage trends of online social networking across the Arab region based on data collected in the first quarter of 2011. In this edition, the report analyzes data on Twitter and Facebook users in all 22 Arab countries, in addition to Iran, Israel and Turkey, highlighting the role they played in the civil movements that swept the region during that period. This is part of a larger research initiative focusing on social engagement through ICT for better policy in Arab states, which explores the use of social networking services in governance, social inclusion and entrepreneurship promotion. The initiative also studies the potential of social networking applications for increasing collaboration, knowledge sharing and innovation, both between and among government entities, citizens and the private sector."
There's a pdf for edition 1. Update: I'm advised that the pdf for edition 2 will be on the website on 7.6.11
