Tweets on the Streets Response

The group started on Facebook chats sharing ideas about political and social changes.  They also went to other forms of media and commented, inviting people to contribute to Facebook conversation.  They were careful about website design to avoid ideological identifications.  The group then moved from Facebook to also Youtube videos.  After demonstrations, they brought people together with "ilusion”, and also used #15M to keep the conversation.  With other media they brought Facebook to the streets.

Response to "Microblogging's Potential Impact" prompt

Audience-targeted broadcasting is basically the notion that microblogging is more brief and has a reduced threshold for sharing.  This means that people within the microblog know their audience and can be more specific with their words.  A microblog in contrast with a company-wide site can have a shorter amount of information with less explanation because the people within the group know that the others will understand. It can be more project-specific and be code-y in wording.
