[P2P-F] P2P-Foundation Digest, Vol 1, Issue 65

Just wanted to add a perspective to the discussion here about social
networks being new platforms for social activism:

>From Participation to Power: The Potential Pitfalls of Web 2.0
http://www.shareable.net/blog/from-participation-to-power-the-potential-pitfalls-of-web-20

The perspective of Harald Katzmair, Ph.d of FAS.research can summed up
simply: participation is not power.  Unless structure appropriately, online
conversations will not move from shared connections, to shared
understanding, to shared action.  Unless structured appropriately, it will
disempower participants.
