A rising tide - tech for social change

June 11, 2008 by David Munir Nabti

Social media is growing and becoming a dominant force in tech-savvy (or at least tech-enabled) communities around the world.

However, most innovation in the social media environment has little, if anything, to do with social change. Witness the massive supply of useless "widgets" and applications in social networking sites like Facebook, most of the stuff that goes up onto YouTube, or networked games that are just as bad as the old non-networked ones.
