    It's possible I could apply this idea if we can all agree on me calling Wikipedia a "social networking" site. Which it totally isn't. but it is a place in which people anonymously inform and therefore can be used to influence and instigate political discussions.

  • Pinboards can be used by educators to plan lessons. Teachers can pin sites for later referral. Students can pin and organize sources and collaborate on projects
  • Pinterest does not generate its own content; rather, it draws from many resources around the web and compiles them in one convenient location for users. By transferring information from restricted access to a more open public sphere, information transaction costs have decreased drastically.
