Minutes after last week's violent attacks on America's missions in the Middle East, the country's embassy in Cairo was already on Twitter. It tweeted an emergency number for American citizens. It criticized Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood for supporting the protests on their Arabic feed. And it thanked fellow tweeters for their condolences on the murder of the American ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens. Welcome to the new world of e-diplomacy, also called, more pretentiously, "21st-century-statecraft". Historically, governments left diplomacy to the cagey and the discreet, who mostly met behind closed doors. Now they are also using Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and local social-media services such as China's micro-blogging site, Sina Weibo. Much of this online activity is "public diplomacy", meaning governments communicating directly with the citizens of another country. But e-diplomacy is an easy and cheap tool for other purposes.
