This article really draws out a lot of the concepts we've been discussing in class in terms of popular assumptions about digital usage. I don't necessarily agree with a lot of the things Mann is mentioning, but I do think it is worth a read.

"We just made history." That Nov. 5, 2008 tweet from the campaign of Barack Obama capped off the first presidential election of the social media age. Four years earlier, Howard Dean had begun to reveal the power of the Internet for fundraising and organizing in his losing effort, but it was the 2008 Obama campaign that really demonstrated social media's power to be transformative of the political process. And yet, social media as we know it today was in its infancy.

An older article from 2011; however the topic resonated with me in light of the recent suspension of columnist Margaret Wente. "Changes in media and technology are rippling through our society, shifting the power structures that have traditionally shaped the public square of news and information in America."

Recollect essentially saves your entire digital social media trail so you never lose any post, photo, check-in or anything else all in one handy dandy place. It's like a massive dropbox for your entire social media history. What does this say about us as users that we can't stand the thought of losing anything online. This massively gives me the creeps.

What this website is about is a pleasant surprise at the end!

In light of our discussion on micro-blogs this week and the different models of public relations, I thought this addition of the "reply" to Facebook comments was an interesting development in terms of user-generated content and feedback to brands. It will be interesting to see whether their "experiment" is actually successful.

Facebook is now automatically creating 'couple' pages for anyone who is linked to another person through relationship status. There is no opt out option and Facebook pulls in any pictures or check in's in which you have both been tagged. I'm not sure if I'm more bothered by the gross invasion of privacy or the fact that Facebook thinks we would be interested in seeing couples pages (uh no).

Looking at how a politician turns to reddit to see legislative advice. Showing how technology/social media is being used to engage the public on political issues- even the future of their governance.

Another way that Facebook seems to be limiting privacy options. While they bring up a few valid points about how much the site has grown recently and the barrage of comments from users not really familiar with the issues, it is still pretty concerning to have even less control than we already do on this site
