Designing Social Media for Social Change

DESIGNING SOCIAL MEDIA FOR SOCIAL CHANGE Jeremy Beaudry UArts + Action Mill ISEA 2009 - Saturday, Aug. 29, 2009

How can we reimagine civil discourse in the context of social media and networked communication?

Posted by obamazombie 05:15 AM, 02/26/2009 Wow Obama is amazing and on top of this he will half the debt by 2013! Of course the mindless Philly Democrats and their impressive political insight will believe this. Posted by ej 07:04 AM, 02/26/2009 Why can't people get their own healthcare insurance? If you get a good education and work hard, it is pretty easy to get your own healthcare insurance. The government should only provide Healthcare Insurance for the elderly and the handicapped, not 25 year old kids that drive around in $25,000 Mustangs and vacation in the Bahamas. Plus, pretty soon Obama is going to run out of rich people to tax… The public sphere is an increasingly polarized space.

Posted by phillygrlinfl 08:18 AM, 02/26/2009 Voting Democratic is like being addicted to crack, you feel good for the moment then it ruins your life! Posted by yescadog 09:29 AM, 02/26/2009 Phillygrlinfl. Sounds like you know first hand.. Crackhead. The last eight years left us in great shape. Thank god more people dont think like you or we would be in even worst shape. Our former republican president inherited a billion dollar surplus eight years ago, and left us with a trillion dollar deficit. That is almost impossible to do. Unless your a Bush Source: “Obama will seek $634B for health,” Philadelphia Inquirer, online comments, 26 February 2009.
