Twitter, Facebook, and social activism : The New Yorker
october 2010 by kerry_dc
"The platforms of social media are built around weak ties....There is strength in weak ties....Our acquaintances—not our friends—are our greatest source of new ideas and information [as evidenced by my forwarding this on FB]...But weak ties seldom lead to high-risk activism."
The takeaway - use social media for what does well - share ideas, information, rally around low-risk activism, fundraising and development. Don't overhype it and rely on it for what can't do - high risk activism that needs strong ties.

"...the focus on people leads us to overinvest in the rewards for individual innovation and underinvest in the intellectual commons that make those innovations possible. We're investing, in other words, in the difference between Zuckerberg and Goldberg rather than the advances that brought them into competition."
