I fnally created a Facebook account, especially since it’s now banned for Ontario government employees. Only takes a ban to get me motivated ;-)
I also see that Cynthia is using Facebook to connect with voters during the PEI election, so maybe this is more than just a flash in the pan, given the +15 million members.
All of this citizen participation that is breaking out made me think about a poster created by demonstrating French students in 1968. Is someone else profiting from all of these social networks, or is it truly a citizen-led phenomenon?
Great graphic, Harold. I don’t really speak French, but I figured it out.
I could have added a translation, but I thought I’d leave the extra challenge ;-)
I think it’s old balding fat guys,smoking cigars and muttering heh heh heh who benefit.
I’ll let you know when Webkinz starts offering to sell kids carbon credits.
Great graphic Harold!
Yes, after almost 40 years, it seems even more pertinent today.
I deleted my Facebook account in 2011. The company is based on a model that erodes our democratic processes and I want nothing to do with it.
