The thought occurred, rather was asked, regarding social networks today at the HCIL lecture. Is it is possible to mobilize people the easier via tweets, feeds, text message. Is it the same? How strong is the connection between followers and "friends?" what difference is there in the limited depth of communication in a tweet, versus email, versus news article. Do the new channels of communication enhance or displace our traditional social framework? looking at Iran, twitter had little to inside the country, but then look at Tunisia and Egypt...what are the implications of shorter and shorter communication that accompany the same if not more actions. Where is the dialogue? I kinda miss phone calls, but now, like this blog, we air it out to the masses for all who choose to listen. In this case, I invite no other action but to think. Breath. Think. Repeat...
