New answer to "Are social networks the new platforms for social activism?" | |
Sam Rose: I don't think social networks are the "new" platforms for social activism. Social networks definitely are platforms for social activism, though. Many people do not realize that activity among participant activists online usually happens across a diverse range of "Technologies of Cooperation", not limited to social networks, but also including self and service hosted blogs, wiki sites, social bookmarking services, email discussion groups like google groups, yahoogroups and mailman email lists, open source software like statusnet, and emerging services like quora. Social networks are only a part of the total picture. To see the question page with all answers, visit: http://www.quora.com/l/Rd5CXzYp Thanks, The Quora Team  | |
