Hi Nick, I was living in Phnom Penh and working at the Cambodia Daily last year when you visited and live-tweeted a brothel raid with Somaly Mam. At the time, my coworkers and I were split on whether we thought the attention your tweets brought was a positive thing for attempts to shut down the sex trafficking and underage prostitution that's such a problem in the culture--or an ego trip for you. Can you talk about your decision to live-tweet the raid? (I personally thought it gave an interesting look into a shady issue.) Did you see any impact (positive or negative) that you could attribute directly to the publicity surrounding your tweeting of the raid?

Thanks for doing the AMA. I found Half the Sky to be incredibly illuminating and I love your column.
