Are the protests still relevant? Is the twitter campaign #occupytahirsquare gaining followers like #awkyoupiewalstreet?

Update: What an Uproar! Here is a play by play. I wish it was good news but it isn't.

Recent Developments

Sept. 7 As Hosni Mubarak's trial continued, the judge ordered testimony from the top two military officers now running the country — Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi and Gen. Sami Hafiz Enan — as well as Omar Suleiman, Mr. Mubarak’s former intelligence chief and vice president.

Aug. 15 During the second session of Hosni Mubarak's trial, Judge Ahmed Refaat said that he was turning off the cameras “to protect the public interest." Also on this day, 1,000 soldiers were deployed by the military government to the Northern Sinai Desert to crack down on lawlessness.

Aug. 3 With tens of millions watching on live television, ailing former president Hosni Mubarak was rolled into a courtroom in a hospital bed to face charges of corruption and complicity in the killing of protesters.

Aug. 1 Central Tahrir Square was forcibly cleared of the remnants of the three-week-old sit-in protesting the slow pace of change since the revolution, with hundreds of Egyptian troops and security police officers shredding tents, arresting dozens of protesters and sending about 200 others fleeing into nearby streets as the Ramadan holiday was about to begin.

July 29 Tens of thousands of Egyptian Islamists poured into Tahrir Square and called for a state bound by strict religious law. They delivered a persuasive show of force in a turbulent country showing deep divisions and growing signs of polarization.

July 23 Former President Hosni Mubarak is officially scheduled to go to trial in early August on charges that could carry the death penalty. But the question preoccupying Cairo right now is not whether he will be found guilty, but this: What will happen when his trial is almost certainly postponed?

July 12 In a summer of discontent, thousands of protesters have returned to Tahrir Square; everywhere in Egypt, it seems, expectations— about who should rule, how they should rule and who should decide the way they rule — have not been met.

July 8 More than two dozen onetime officials and allies of former President Hosni Mubarak were charged with murder, attempted murder and terrorism, accused of organizing one of the most memorable attacks on protesters during the 18-day revolution, one in which assailants riding horses and camels charged into the crowds at Tahrir Square.

July 5 An Egyptian criminal court acquitted three former government ministers of corruption while convicting a fourth in absentia, verdicts that aggravated public anger over the pace of efforts to hold former officials accountable for killing more than 800 people during the country’s 18-day revolution.

June 29 A night of fighting between demonstrators and security forces made clear that there were differences not only between the government and protesters, but between those who want faster change and those who are growing weary of the post-revolutionary tumult.

June 2 More than a month after saboteurs blew up an Egyptian pipeline supplying natural gas to Israel, the line is repaired but gas is not flowing and foreign shareholders of the company suspect politics to be the reason. They are threatening legal action against Egypt.

June 1 The Egyptian military — facing public criticism for torturing demonstrators and admitting that it forced some female detainees to undergo “virginity tests” — is pressing the Egyptian news media to censor harsh criticism of it and protect its image. The intervention concerns some human rights advocates who say it could make it harder for politicians to scrutinize the military and could possibly undermine attempts to bring it under civilian control or investigate charges of corruption
