I also posted this on Yammer, but thought it would be useful to some of you to put it up here as well. The article highlights how people rally online, and promote their own political views. Interesting article!

This is very true because, like most articles we have read, it is easier to express how you truely feel on social media sites. I thought this was interesting because through social media, it is difficult to find emotion.

i have hears of this before. they track what you like so when you are on other websites it shows you advertisements that interest you. its all about the advertisement.

This is pretty nice! Finally no more ads about politics.

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.
