An article addressing the ways protesting was done in the past (sit-ins, press involvement, etc) and how it has changed with social media (Twitter, ect). Essentially, Malcolm Gladwell argues that activism through social media does not have the strength that social change requires because the strategies are built around people who are weakly tied to others through social networks

I liked this article because in the past people would protest with signs and today we can use social media and it gets a lot more people involoved. I think this is a postive side to social media.

I posted this in Yammer but I feel it'd be useful to post on here as well.

I really liked this article and it points out valid issues with social media.

This article is interesting because it makes claims about Generation X (in between "us" and the Baby Boomers) as a generation...He claims that they appreciate freedom, stability, activity, and education. Why do we pick only a few things and try to categorize an entire generation by those standards?

I thought I would post this because we found out in class that a majority of us to not have a LinkedIn. Well, I decided to get one because I am graduating, and I'm hoping that it will help me with my job search. I found that I really don't know a lot of people on LinkedIn. Because of this, I have a hard time understanding what acceptable LinkedIn activity is like and how to connect to people that I don't know. I want my LinkedIn to be more than just the profile that I created. This is where I think this article comes in handy.
