To start off, both articles were written very well and they explore great views on the question of what we can truly accomplish with the internet and social networking. To start off the chapter It takes a Village to Find a Phone, was an amazing story of how there is always someone who feels the same way you do about a subject. Evan put that up, even know they got a new phone and still got all the info back. This was about what is right, and he posted, and everyone joined in ton stand up for something they all believe in. I thought it was amazing to see how many people, and how all of those people had the power to change the minds of the NYPD.
Second, was the Twitter, and Facebook article, which was also very well written. The difference with this article is that it explored different stories and how social networking sites could be the way to bring everyone together and in one of the stories, save peoples lives.
I get from these two stories is that we are all so involved with the internet that we can all join together to do things that one person could never accomplish on their own. I believe the Twitter and Facebook article is a stronger representation of this because the other one seemed a little out there for me. In understand that a lot of people have a large control, but i feel as if NYPD would not change their minds just because of what other people think. For the other article, i can understand, because so many people are affected by these social problems, such as racism, cancer, etc. and thats why it is so easy for people to spread the word and receive so much feed back. I am very happy i got to learn a little more about the positive things social networking is doing.
