The Power of Social Media: Social Media Sharers or Social Media Activists

All social media users are budding writers.  We write in order to share with our friends.  We share the things we like.  And all writers are activists.  We read and react.  We give our feedback.  We let others read our opinions on various topics.  We blog.  We write op-ed pieces.  We send tweets.  We facebook. We add our 15 cents on Google +.  We orgazine our stuff on Pinterest.  We try to connect with potential readers.  Sharing has become the new Salson.  Sharing occurs on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, Yahoo, Blogger, Tumblr, Typepad, and many other platforms.  We sign petitions on Change.org.  If you have not signed the new petition about Trayvon Martin's killing, join Change.org to sign up! As citizens, we have the right to know what our police departments are doing in very difficult cases, how they are handling them.  That's our freedom of information at work!  Our tax dollars that pay these officials are also at work.  That is the essence of our democracy after all.

All of us care about specific topics and subjects.  We learn from each other.  We get our info from our friends. Social Media has come of age.


A good kid with a life, lots of potential and parents who love him was gunned down.  That's the story I have been reading and which has provoked a huge public outrage.  http://standfortrayvonstandforjustice.blogspot.com.  It is time we stand against all senseless killings.  No killing or murders should be taken lightly.

I have been reading this ebook by Prof. Clydewell on the case too:  http://www.amazon.com/Walking-While-Black-Suspicious-ebook/dp/B007M6BMEI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332319314&sr=8-1
