Good stuff, and I would add one more thing that I have been (perhaps
mistakenly?) arguing for a while: if anything, the pressure should be
applied in an opposite direction. Those who use Twitter should have to
prove anything, but rather, those who do not (and here I mean the
spectrum of Twitter, FB, etc) should reconsider their decision to opt
out of a technology that is becoming an important method of
communicating/exchanging/spreading news, opinion, propaganda, memes,
etc.

I am not coming down hard on my friend Joanna or others here :-)… or
rather I am exaggerating my argument above for [attempted] humour. I
understand we all have our styles and not everyone is into posting
random shit to social networks as I am, and that despite Arab Spring
and what not, social networks aren’t going to be at the helm of
revolution (see my Tweet regarding that :-)).

CB: I'd say facebook is a central communication network in extending
the _reform_ ( not revolutionary) struggle which has come out of
Occupy Wall Street. Many of the Occupations around the country still
exist and are in touch with each other on facebook pages.   Occupy
Wall Street had a big impact on the 2012 elections.
