Howard Rheingold: "Now that so many are forced to use online media to communicate, let's use this opportunity to create many smaller virtual communities and social networks outside the enclosed world of Facebook."
Virtual communities can make the world a better place. or they can manipulate elections by spreading hate messages en conspiracy theories. Or they can manipulate the stock markets in a so-called anti-establishment frenzy, which is no more that a thin veil hiding resentment, hate and greed. Revolutions are not always pretty to look at.
