How Online Networking Might Change the World – Seriously
The Jerry Lewis annual telethon was first broadcast in 1955. 54 years later it is broadcast on 180 stations in the United States. Pretty impressive. But wait until you hear this.
During that same time, 180 cities throughout the world come together to hold simultaneous events on in every city, to raise funds for a single charity dedicated to providing clean water in third world countries, Charity: Water. The event was called “Twestival”, short for Twitter Festival, and happened for the first time worldwide on Feb. 12, 2009.
Why Social Networking (locally and digitally) Can Be a Bad Idea
148.7 – The maximum number of social relationships any average human being can handle, according to research by anthropologist Robin Dunbar (1998) and others.
73,395 – The maximum number of people following one person on Twitter.com (right now.)
Houston, we have a problem. Are we wasting our time with social networking?
