  • social familiarity
  • both the creation and the consumption of these images on mobile devices speaks to the relative ease of tapping into that familiarity
  • Thanks to the startups and digital entrepreneurs of this last generation, we are all minor league auteurs or videographers, used to framing the shot, creating more drama, working the lighting.

      The power of social media. Everyone is a storyteller, and the simplicity and availability of electronics, social media, and the world wide web, makes it possible for anybody to be a relevant news anchor.

  • long-running debate in some wired intellectual circles about whether social media powers revolutions, whether Twitter or Facebook really assist movements – and on the other side, whether digital technologies now help malign governments in sniffing out and crushing dissent
  • Of course the networks matter – because they always have
  • Twitter isn’t a traditional broadcast company; there’s no editor-in-chief who can be bought or pressured

      Interesting point about Twitter becoming a replacement for traditional news outlets like television and radio. Had similar discussion in class.
  • They horrify, but they don’t necessarily empower – or encourage action
  • we can instinctively understand the smaller scale conflict against a familiar backdrop in the same way we can grasp what happened at the Boston Massacre or even Lexington and Concord versus how Washington conducted the siege at Yorktown. And the visuals – really the currency of social media – have that quality of being instantly understood.
  • What’s different is speed (no wait for the 11 pm news) and the ability of everyone to share those images, along with comments and outrage
  • “Facebook ‘likes’ are often ridiculed as meaningless, but they can make a person realize that their social network feels the same as they do—and that’s a socially and politically powerful thing.”

      Powerful because without awareness there will never be action.

    Becoming popular on the internet usually doesn't happen overnight. Being able to monitor your reach is essential to understanding what you are doing right and wrong with your online medium. Twitonomy is one of the many analytic applications for Twitter. It tracks tweets, retweets, interactions, clicks, follower growth, et cetera.
