> Isn't "social media" redundant?

What's different about this stuff is the immediacy and endless capacity to link, retweet, click, echo, etc. etc. It's not at all clear that it's good for social bonds. It can also be a means of alienation and displacement.

CB: Couldn't these social negatives be true, and yet the latest social media give a new quality in agitation , propaganda and organizing in the Egyptian mass uprising ? No aya contradiccion
