Is Social Media Still an Enigma?

Social media remains the most powerful source of communication in the world – but there is a social media danger when it’s used for oppression.

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

This is a great article that was brought to my attention on LinkedIn through @GuyKawasaki. A good portion of the information in this article was the kind of thing we talked about in my graduate school social media class, taught by Dr. Andrew Klobucar. Amongst the topics we spoke of was the role of social media in information dissemination, and the role of "netizens". Good stuff! It makes you think about the role of social media beyond tweeting or Facebooking photos of your dinner on vacation. A very good read–it helps to put the real role of social media in perspective.
