Small Change. Why the revolution will not be tweeted | weiterbildungsblog
Posted on 05 October 2010 by jrobes Malcolm Gladwell hat sich die Frage gestellt, welche Art von Aktivitäten eigentlich durch Social Media und Social Networking initiiert werden. Und ist dazu in die 1960er Jahre zurückgegangen, in die Zeit der Bürgerrechtskämpfe in den USA.Your (Brilliant) Responses to Gladwell on Social Media and Activism - Alexis Madrigal - Technology - The Atlantic
The comments in response to my thoughts on Malcolm Gladwell's latest New Yorker piece about social media and activism are so extraordinary that they deserve their own post. Here are highlights, but go read the whole thread in situ.
Malcolm Gladwell Is #Wrong: Change Observer: Design Observer
Malcolm Gladwell's take on social media is like a nun's likely review of the Kama Sutra — self-righteous and misguided by virtue of voluntary self-exclusion from the subject. But while the nun's stance reflects adherence to a moral code, Gladwell's merely discloses a stubborn opinion based on little more than a bystander’s observations. Gladwell, who has built a wildly successful career curating and synthesizing other people's research for the common reader’s consumption, has been surprisingly remiss in examining the social web’s impact on various forms of activism.

Kashmir protesters are using social media to disseminate news and views.
For those who were sure that Twitter, Facebook and the realtime web could either manufacture or replace personal qualities such as being courageous, determined, selfless, disciplined, steadfast and having a charismatic ability to inspire and lead others in moments of great historical importance, I’ve got some bad news.
The Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted (Unless It Is) : All Tech Considered : NPR
Excellent piece by Malcolm Gladwell in the New Yorker, casting a sceptical eye over the optimistic view that social networks can and do lead to increased social action. His argument is not that they cannot have a good impact, but that the sort of impact they might have is very different from the hard work of political activism that brought about the end to segregation. Old style activism depended on ‘strong ties’ – people who probably knew one another, and were very committed to a single cause, with their lives and values tied up in it.

At four-thirty in the afternoon on Monday, February 1, 1960, four college students sat down at the lunch counter at the Woolworth’s in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. They were freshmen at North Carolina A. & T., a black college a mile or so away. The Woolworth’s lunch counter was a long L-shaped bar that could seat sixty-six people, with a standup snack bar at one end.
