I think that social media could be used for evil, but it also has been used for good. I choose the latter, as do you. Social media has helped me meet very interesting people that I otherwise would not have connected with (including you!). Do FB and Twitter depersonalize relationships?

I think not!!

Back to the real stuff. I wrote some skeptical words about twitter as a social revolution couple of months ago – when we were all tinting our avatars green – but I am eating them now.

Social media is a tool that HAS transformed my life. Now, instead of watching TV all night, I connect with people. People like me. People unlike me. People, who, if I met on the street, I might think “those square glasses remind me of Sarah Palin so we can’t be friends”, but with whom I deeply identify when we meet online, without those identifiers.

And with them, too. I think social media has made me open and loving because I can connect with people via their ideas and their experiences. And that is transformative.

PS keep on rockin’ the free world.
