Small Change; Why the revolution will not be tweeted

From “Small Change; Why the revolution will not be tweeted” Malcolm Gladwell writes about how people protest. That "long" time ago it was via word of mouth, flyers, and posters. But now with the all the fast pace communication there can be hundreds of protestors in matter of minutes. He writes about how so many people using twitter is talking about politics. He also mentions that Twitter is more used for people who share the same interests but would never meet, but Facebook is used to talk to people who you actually know. I think that it is true, that in Twitter it is used to talk about your day or what you have done. That I personally have people i do not know personally and is "following me." I prefer Facebook, but as of late it as become more of a hassle rather than enjoyable.
