Minutes after Egyptian Vice President Omar Suleiman announced the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak Twitter buzzed with congratulatory tweets for Egypt.
Even more than six hours after the initial announcement "Congrats Egypt" continues to trend on Twitter with multiple tweets a minute.
So, here is a sampling of 10 of the best.
  1. @MitalJoshiGoel - Uninstalling dictator ... 100% complete ██████████████████████████████ #Egypt #Mubarakgone 
  2. @BarackObama - Today belongs to the people of Egypt, who have made it clear that nothing less than genuine democracy will carry the day.
