Why you need to understand social networking

Steve Safran August 14th, 2006

LR pal Terry Heaton deconstructs social networking for us and explains why it’s something newsies need to get. I’m with Terry - social networking is a complicated phenomenon, and one we may not immediately see as related to what we do. (I have a MySpace page, and even I don’t fully “get it.”) But social networking, like blogging, puts power in the hands of “the people formerly known as the audience,” forcing “people into the postmodern exercise of deconstruction.” Local social networks would help your community interact in new and meaningful ways, and if you are a part of that network it will help your cred as an overall information source.

    yes, “in new and meaningful ways”.

    as a condition of the recent cease fire maybe olmert and nasrallah should be force to “socially network”.

    perhaps then some of their friends can tell them what a f’in waste this last month has been.
